im trying to sell my sisters 206 (she's gone to work in afghanistan for 3 years...). 1.4 petrol, 3 door, s/99, fsh, immaculate, 1 owner, etc, etc.

Perfect runabout for around 4500 (i've still got to work out how much its actually worth... :) )

Not much more than that you're into vRS territory!

insurance group 16D for a runabout ;)

GTI 15 September 2003 10:19 PM

Blooody helll! Group 16! ah-well, will have to see for quotes!
So is that 150bhp and how much extra for vRS??? What MPG???
Any other suggestions would prefer smaller though, and cheaper to insure.
Sorry mate not interested in a 206 found it uncomfortable to drive and well a bit cheap and nasty really. Thanks anyway!

What about a ford fiesta zetec s, nice handling car and cheap on parts, insurance and servicing.
The girlfriend has one and it's real fun to drive.
