most of them have at one time been owned by neds so have been thrashed and not looked after which won't help reliability. |

Or you can buy an Energy that are even cheaper, have been owned by Granny's and generally have lower mileage!
Mine had one previous owner - who happened to be my then Chemistry teacher's disabled mum, hence the car had only 42K and a Full Renault Dealer Service History. My dad bought it about 4 years ago for the sum of £650 and he bequeathed it to me when he changed jobs and got a works van. |
