Personally: Woof!
Missus: I want a Fiesta, I know about Fiestas, I can drive Fiestas, I want a Fiesta, you're getting me a Fiesta.

That looks almost identical to my old fiesta but one year older. Mine was very reliable and did 90,000 miles with no problems.

another one worth about a grand

Mileage is good but bit older than I was hoping for tbh. But cheers folks, keep em coming (and the responses, cos that also helps me gauge the stuff I'm looking at). TBH finding a private seller in the area is proving harder than I'd hoped (mainly due to the quite tight parameters the missus has set) so we may end up having to go trade just to get what she's after

i've had a look, and there's not alot about if you restrict yourself to a fiesta.
corsa's are decent, and punto's are alright for a similar sized car.

Tell me about it, that's what I've been finding out all day It's not my restriction it's the missus and in fairness she's got to drive the thing so it's important she feels comfortable with it. But a few more barren days may wear down the resistance to the "Look, love, just take a Corsa for a test drive, can't hurt can it?"
