Car?

Last night we dis­covered ourselves with unex­pec­ted free time, so I pro­posed we go check out a second-hand car I’d been eyeing off online – a little red 1995 Peugeot 306. Called the guy whose house it was at… sure, we could come over. It’s his daugh­ter’s car but he works for GM so he’s doing the selling. Des­pite the pour­ing rain when we get there, the car seems smooth and lovely, it’s got a couple of scratches but noth­ing major, it’s a hatch­back, and most import­antly, Choice says it’s got some of the best crash pro­tec­tion out there in the used car market. It does­n’t show up any­where on Choice’s reli­ab­il­ity list but the guy has the full ser­vice his­tory and it looks like it’s had a fair bit replaced recently, so we should­n’t have to do major main­ten­ance for a while. Plus, it’s in our price range… so, we’ve put a deposit on it.

Now to sell the van – which appar­ently would­n’t pass a road­worthy. Not good…

But yay for little red car!
