Sod the dealers - find a local specialist. They rarely go wrong so long

as you maintain them - most fucked ones are due to broken belt

tensioners, or lack of oil.



Yes, fuel consumption can look scary, but I was averaging 26-28mpg in

the Marea, ffs, and they`re not much worse than that.

Very good choice. A bit of an odd one, as they hold their value *very*

well. £3.5k is the starting point for a nice early one.

Nope - all there and quite nice. A little bit leggy, but so what.

Having said, that I don`t really see the point when I think about it.

On the other hand..... will a tidy 166 ever be worth a lot less than

that?



I reckon they`ve really hit the bottom of their depreciation curve - you

just have to look at the prices a really tidy 164 will sell for to see

that.



(Yes, sheds are worth fuck all, but a nice 164 V6 will still fetch £2k)
