a few factors have led me to get a new car for daily use, firstly my 405 is in dire need of pretty much everything, clutch, bushes, welding, servicing, bearings etc etc etc not too much of a problem really as its a couple of days work for me but i just don't have the time or enthusiasm for it anymore.
next reason is that im moving up at work and tbh the 405 just lets me down, turning upto work and visiting customers in a filthy rusty smokey old estate that leaves oil drips everywhere just isnt helping so ive decided to take the old girl off the road for now until i can find the motivation to fix everything then decide what to do from there.
so when the opportunity came up to get this i couldnt really say no
renault laguna estate 1.9 dci 120bhp, 6 speed gearbox and all the toys, new clutch, new wheel bearings all round and new bushes. high mileage and headgasket gone.
the garage quoted £740 to do the headgasket so stuffed that idea and bought another laguna that had been rear ended with nice low mileage engine to use as a donor.
52 plate high spec laguna and all its cost me so far is £250 including a complete donor car. undoubtedly its gonna end up with a cheeky remap and slammed on some nice rims, be rude not to
just a bonus that its going to match my 306 color scheme
