Well, as an update we've bought the latter car, picking it up tomorrow.
Went to see the first one, it was very nice and the woman on the forecourt said they'd stick 4 new tyres on it when I pointed out that they were all almost on the limits. Very clean bodywork and had 9months MOT.
Then we went to see the second car, and whilst the bodywork is a little tatty (few car park scuffs, nothing a good polish/touch up won't sort) it has a whole host of factory fitted extras that just make it so much more than the first one. It's got A/C, electric windows all round, electric (folding) mirrors, satnav/computer thingy, alloys etc etc. The GF fell in love with it, really nice feel to drive. We didn't get much knocked off the price but he has paid for a full years tax (he offered to get the scuffs fixed for us but we need the car ASAP, and I have a mate who can do it for me on the cheap).
So yeah, photos will follow (but probably not until the weekend as the GF is working lates all week so I won't get to see it much).
