Looking into a DC5

[kevinjwiles]

Hey

I am looking into a DC5 now I drive much less mileage.

I am 23 and have 3 years NCB.

I wanted to know if there any any common faults I should look out for?

What is the DC5 like on fuel (yes I know its a hot hatch)

Any other common faults I might have once I own one?

What is the tax?

If you take care of te car, the car will take care of you. Its really reliable and the costs are not bad for a car of its class. Definitely not a bad purchase

Hi mate

Everything you need to know is on this forum, I'm a new owner and took a few weeks to gather the information, and a few more to find the right one but worth every bit, insurance is good if you shop around, theres a good list of insurers to check through on this forum.

But just have a good read of the pinned posts.

I must say for the price of a unblemished example, you might think there's a load of other cars you could consider but all I got to say is I made the right choice, wouldn't look back .
