got to disagree here

everybody seems to think with saphs that if its not expensive its not a good one

the majority of the time a 6k saphs the same as a 3k saff it just depends whos advertising it

so i would,nt be put of buying a saph due to a low price as i,ve looked at 8k saphs that were junk .

i,ve had 5 saphs now and not paid between 2k and 3k for them no more and they were all good cars with perfect running engines taxed and mot,d , so i would,nt judge a car just because of its price .
