They have a rep for expensive parts (I wonder how people got that impression
). It seems to me nothing much is selling though; I'm not just looking at 406s, I also have an eye out for other cars that I might like (C5 estate, Scoobies, 156/9 etc.) and I'm still seeing the same cars I saw months back.

I don't know much about bikes but isn't 10 years old a bit, well, old? (I'm thinking of rider enjoyment/safety) things like dampers, springs, bushes, sprokets?, gear box?.
So if Puggy's are not favoured over there then what should you be driving?

Nah, a tractor (ooh, driving about all day on cheap fuel, l/h indicator going, spraying mud everywhere, belching out unburnt hydrocarbons - could be me!!)
