Mileage: 79,500
Total spent: £8650
Bought via Rardley Motors, Mike Wheeler did a great job in making the deal happen, and I owe him my thanks. I had sold my 208 GT4 in the Summer, and had been waiting for the winter to take advantage of seasonal price fluctuations to get a good deal. I had been looking at some pretty ropey GT4s on Ebay, when I spotted this blue GT4 on Autotrader. It was slightly out of my budget at the time, but then 2 things happened. I sold my Rover SD1 Vitesse and a very welcome Christmas bonus came through at work. So I went to see the GT4 just before Christmas. The car was as good as described in the advert, leaving me little leeway to negotiate, however I knew that prices would be soft at the time of year. Also I had another deal on the table for a different GT4. It's bodywork needed immediate work, but the price reflected this and it was mechanically sound. The long and the short of it was that I ended up getting the better blue GT4 from Mike at Rardleys. It has a short MOT, so we will see how much of a bargain it turns out to be after my next report!
