thanks to everyone who answered my previous post, very useful,
just need to get some test drives sorted now.
its between a dc2 and dc5, im put off the dc2 by the age, this is mainly having spent all my driving life as a ford owner (never good).
but im put off the dc5 by parts costs for services and replacement parts (with it being an import).
i've noticed that a decent low mileage dc2 isnt actually that much cheaper then a similar 02/03 dc5, and my biggest worry is buying one of the two and being landed with some massive repair bills.
i've noticed on someone elses post that they had to touch up thier rear arches, are thier many bodywork problems?, and how mechanically sound are the cars, i wont be driving it that hard most of the time anyway, it'll mainly be a steady communter to work and back and then just a few sunday thrashes lol.
any advice would be great.
cheers guys 8)
