Without going into too much detail, lets just say I am very happy. A very long way in front.


It was a risk. I had a good look before the auction and it all looked doable, but I really didn't know until I took it apart. One or two unpleasant surprises, but on the whole it was fairly straightforward.


I didn't know how many kms it had done or even if the engine was serviceable. Pleasant surprises there! 121000 kms was a nice surprise. The cost of the electric parking brake was not a pleasant surprise.


It will be a great family car for us years.
