Looks a bargain, I'd love one.

Annoys me when people say they are unreliable. What they mean is they break when you neglect them. If they are maintained correctly then they are reliable cars, it's just that people neglect them for years and then flog them, then the next guy inevitably has a load of problems.

I know 2 people who didn't have the 1st clue about looking after cars who both ruined their 5 GT's. On the other hand I know of a lady that had one for may years that had it regularly serviced and looked after the car and it never missed a beat. Also a work mate looked after his well and it had 100k on it and was a perfect little car.
