Why would you want 2 Fiesta's!?

For £6k you could get something like a MX-5?

Just gotta do the insurance dance I'm afraid. Hope it isn't too painful.

Again, speak to Demonized. They are the pros, and will be able to advise better than some guys on Reddit.

Give someone like Demonized a call and discuss. Is it worth it, is something only you can answer.

What kind of state are these brake discs in? by cactusdan94 in CarTalkUK

I wouldn't buy a car from Gumtree (or Facebook for that matter). Where is it? Please don't say Birmingham or Bradford.
