Default my bargain of the month

brought this on sunday as my fiesta decided to die

anyway it was advertised in the trader for 695 needing tlc. turned up and the old bloke said, roof doesnt work, sidelights dont work nor does the radio and alarm , exhaust blows and knocking from n/s/f.

well what a result, roof needed fluid, works great. all electrical probs was down to lack of fuses, sorted stainless exhaust for £20 and needs new wishbone another £20. and to top it all off i only gave him £600
