Yes I actually had a bit of fun on twisty humpy back roads was very surprised by it. Felt i was 17 again. Although I would of been too embarrassed back then to drive a panda. Would of wanted something cooler.
I got the great economy as I was on good roads and was trying to get good figure. But previous driver had average of 4.4
I am over 6 foot and felt like I had plenty of room although rear passenger's would of been cramped behind me.
Turning lock was amazing.

Is the smaller of the two dates on the NCT disk the date when the NCT was done?

I am seeing a good few cars with mileage of say 80k on NCT disk and same on Odometer but the small date on NCT disk is back in 2016 in some cases.

Does that mean the seller is saying the car hasn't done any mileage since is was NCT'd a year or two ago?

I would hapilly buy that corolla but just got a quote from my insurance and it goes up by 500 just because of age. Scam

I just tried with mine for the craic and got "Sorry we are unable to provide you with a quote". I'd say it is because it is a 1997 which is odd as I am with them on a 1998. One is 20 while the other is 21 as if that is going to make it any less road worthy.

Yep... but keeping going would eventually destroy a gear aswell.

Was just about to say that! Hope he means that tongue in cheek (though in my experience of this motoring forum, someone will be along any minute to claim that Peugeot's are well known for being the most reliable car brand ever )

Even if that was the case, the 307 isn't a highest note in that song...

I nearly wouldn't take that 307 if it was free. There's better cars out there even with a €1k budget.

A bonfire is probably the best use of one of those.

A few miles on it, but if it was looked after it's probably grand. I'd go for that before either of the other two.
