I was lucky! The first saph I looked at @ £5495 was shocking.

In fact it was so bad - I thought if thats the sort of cossy I can afford - I wont bother!

The guy who came with me to look at it was telling someone he works with how shit it was.. he said his mate had a cossy for sale. It was spotless! I had to have it as soon as i saw it!

the prices are risin i think for saffs as they are gettin broken for bits coz they are rotten, the good ones will remain and they will fall into the same leauge as th 3dr's etc , the rarer they get the higher the prices. i think the days of the saff being the 'poor mans cozziy' are becoming a think of the past, you cant get a good one for less than 5k ish , a year or two ago you could get a good one for less than that easy, prices are on the rise so get a good one now!
