nearly took finance to get a focus, got accepted for 5k and at the last minute pulled out, really couldn't bring myself to do it, nothing against finance.. its a necessary evil but i decided to buy a clean x reg astra for £800 with 58k on the clock, gonna put off the focus till after xmas maybe 2 months, by that time i should have most of the money + the resale of the astra should be gravy.
Great cars focus, had a good drive of my mates 2.0 titanium, very nippy handled well and smooth very reliable too. if i didnt want a focu is proberbly go the opposite way and by an old car i love that isnt exactly sensible.
