Best £1000 I ever spent

[heightswitch]

1 owner, 36k miles from new..Couldn't resist putting some new wheels and tyres on it. Its lovely.





These things must be the bargain of the century!!

Yep, it will certainly be the best grand you'll spend,I did similar. In 2009 I paid £2300 for a one owner,2001 28K miles 2.5 V6 Connie SE.It's just coming up to 70K miles now,had two services and other than a fan repair for £200 it's been faultless.W're thinking of having a re-arrange of the family fleet,but the 75 won't be going anywhere!

Interested to note the fan repair...On cold screen defrost I noticed a vibration the other day as if fan bearings were getting on a bit..
Other than that it is faultless though.

The best £1K you ever spent?

With a 75 it will not be the last £1K you ever spend . . .

And, yes, I run a 75 as a daily.

See my post above,unless you're unlucky ,get a good low mileage one for peanuts and there's nothing to worry about,certainly no more than any other car built between 8 and 14 years ago.
Get a several owner gappy history example and you'll be putting you hand in your pocket no doubt.
If mine breaks,I'll simply get another one.

Mine isn't a several owner gappy history example - I've had it from new . . .

Fair enough,and sorry to hear that.Either I've been very lucky,(and also the 3 owners I know who have bought since), or you've been very unlucky.What year and spec is it, and what bills were over a £1000?
