Very fast. Well thats your first lie right there

Are there any pictures, as they say, pictures say a thousand words. And you cant judge the condition of a fiesta without examining the rust situation.

Check out the sills and the rear wheel arches for rust. These are the most common places on the fez. If the sills are bad then it will probs fail its next MOT on these. Also generally check other areas like bottoms of doors etc. Don't rush into buying one, there are plenty of good examples out there so if it isn't that good, walk away. A better one will come along :thumbsup:

at the end of the day, the best car may appear a 3 hour drive away. i would happily drive that, in the knowledge that my money went the best way, and i have the better car for it.
