frown frown Well she's gone, For £800 under what I was originally asking for it smile £1230 It finally went for, to a guy in Stafford.

Actually a little sad now, however it had started to rust on the arch, the suspension made an annoying squeak now and again, and the diff seal had began to weep oil. I was 100% honest with the guy and he knocked my asking price of £1450 down accordingly, I don't believe in selling cars with hidden faults. He seemed happy, lets hope I don't get a call in 5 minutes telling me its broken down like last time I sold it laugh

So what do I do? Stick the £1230 towards a deposit on a house and see how long the 306 will last, or do I buy something a little more sensible to cover 25000 miles a year in ? Or do I get a GTV I've been promising myself?

Maybe I just buy a LE?

Buy another coupe!! I got rid of mine a couple of months ago after having it 3 1/2 years as it had developed quite a few problems and I needed a new car for work and now regret getting rid of the coupe.
In hindsight I should have kept the coupe, bought a cheap turbo diesel and spoilt the coupe, oh well never mind.
You'll be wanting another soon I bet!!!

Buy something reliable.

Your too fussy (nothing wrong with that) & you will seriously struggle to find a coupe to your standards nowerdays.

Then if you do it will just take you down the same road this one did.

Very true Carl, i do seem to be too fussy. You should have seen me shopping for the misses car last week with a 1k budget, i could of cried at some of the cars for sale that were described as mint!

I will find something though, i need to as the 306 is getting on now as i pile the miles on it. Needs suspension at the front now i reckon!
