OH had a Mercedes with great sentimental memories. His best friend died 4 years ago and left his merc to him in his will. It's a beautiful car but he decided it is getting to the age where repairs are going to be costing a lot of money. It also drinks petrol like it's going out of fashion. So he started looking on line. He found a Citroen estate car at a garage not too far away.
We went and had a look. He liked it. I tried to persuade him not to do it knowing how he felt about it it, but he went ahead, he got a straight swap with a full mot,
The merc was an 03 and the Citroen is an 07 so he feels ok with it.
It's got a much bigger boot so we have booked a booze cruise next week to France!
