Hi guys..
Just to let you all know I am still alive and kicking... although not kicking as much as I used to..
Since I lost my job back in April, I have been finding it a bit hard, and that was even before the "credit crunch".
I still have the GS300, just not been driving it much.. even to the point that the battery died a few times..
I have been trucking around in my Dad's corsa.. a little 1.0 3cyl jobby, that runs on fumes... he hasn't been well, so not using it.
I considered swapping the car for something more economical, so went to the Car People in Wakefield..
I can give you a quote on yours... and came back in about 5 mins..
Well, it says as a part exchange, yours is worth £6750... so we will give you £3500...
I said, but I am part ex'ing.. how come you say £3500?
Oh, that's the auction price.... but I'm not taking it to auction, I'm trading it in..
needless to say, a few choice words, :tsktsk: and we left..... went to Carcraft. and they didn't offer anything at all !
Did notice an 03 plate basic model Focus on the forecourt for £7995 !! checked on Autotrader and should be £4500 tops.
No wonder they can offer £2000 minimum part ex.
So there you have it... still looking for work, and still trying to drive the Lex as and when I can..
Funny thing is, I seem busier now, than when I was working !!! go figure
Merry Christmas to all, and best wishes for the New Year. :hohoho:
John
