Hmmm, so I should stick with my Saff and sell her privately?

My Saff has 104,987 miles and is the top model being the Ghia, all creature comforts and a years MOT!

The car that is up for swops is a 1.6 Azura Sierra Hatchback with 126,000 miles. Its a 1.6 Pinto though, been told they are bullet proof and good on fuel?

Need something to run my 2 big dogs around in and i work in the building trade so my Saff is not for me, need a hatch or estate!!
