Buying experience

Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£12,500
When did you buy the car?
January 2012
Did you get a good deal and why?
I checked other vehicles of similar spec,and decided that on balance I was getting a good deal.I know I paid a bit extra as it was from main franchise dealer and this gave me confidence about the condition of the car.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I decided the next car Id buy was this model and when I saw it decided to commit due to year mileage price and overall condition.
What was the dealer like?
The dealer/salesman was very professional,no hard sell.In reality the dealer had an easy job as I knew the car I was after....and he was selling!!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I am very comfortable with the size of the car.It does everything I ask.Its smooth,gives a feeling of safety and for a man of my age,63 is ideal.
What's it like to park?
Parking the car presents no problem to the competent driver.Its big but the smooth steering makes manoeuvering easy.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
A few components on the steering needed replaced as did a rear brake sensor.I factor in costs such as this.They are to be expected in an older vehicle but other than that no problems.
What's most practical about your car?
It is a big comfortable car ideal for my height and weight.I dont drive many miles annually so fuel consumption which is very healthy is not an issue.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Auto gearbox,air con and of course cruise control.
