So I got a message from her the other day
"im going to look at a car, its a saxo just at the end of the road. only £525"
"okay well wait til i visit in the next couple of weeks if you can so I can go with you as there's things to check (i.e rear beam, hg, hpi etc) " - i say
"okay" she replied
come back to phone 20 minutes later
"it's 58000 miles"
"it's recently been serviced"
"it was their granddaughters car"
"i love it..."
"i bought it"
So anyway going to give it a service for her when I get home for pugrun just to make sure it's in as good as condition as it can be for her. Won't leave it up to the parents as mum used to think having a mot meant it had the oil changed, when I dropped the oil out her fiesta even though the engine was hot it came out like porridge, hadn't been done once in the 8/9 years shes owned it i think.
Anything in particular for me to scan over when I get back? It's a 1.0L instead of a 1.1 apparently so dont know what differences that makes to the general engine/drivetrain
