Nice car. Does it have any service history -- whats the mileage ?.

basegreen · 15th October 2006, 14:32

Full Service History, Mileage is about 50K. Just been serviced and will be MOTd tomorrow.

I also live in one of the most expensive place to buy cars in the UK

I think you were in the right place at the right time. Good one.

rmh999 · 15th October 2006, 21:54

If you are going to run it into the ground a Daewoo Matiz 1.0
You can pick up about an 02 plate for £2.5k with about 15k miles.

Basic old low tech nothing much to go wrong and easy to work on so cheap when it needs servicing etc...

Cant get much cheaper to insure or run but a bit basic and poor on long runs - motorways etc and dont even start on 0-60 times...

Just dont expect much of a resale value unless you trade it in...

hence the run it till it dies attitude...

BG, you have had it for a while now, how are you getting on with the Ka?

Pesonally, I think it is quite good for a car of the size.

Yeah, we're really pleased with it. Drives well, quite nippy. Only slight downside was a sticky central locking motor which is being fixed tomorrow (under warranty of course)..
