took long enough

Post by Dan224 »

After nearly 2 years and 4 other cars I've just bought my old 406 back. :)

Excellent :) Any pictures?

How much did you sell it and then buy it back for? And how many miles have been put on it in the meantime?

Sounds like a bargain, well done 8) Look forward to seeing the pics. 4k miles in 2 years is nothing.
