Default Re: What did you buy after your Mondeo?

I still have the Mondeo missus has it.

But in a weird twist of fate I thought it were time to get another vehicle. My plans were get a cheap old bomb and let it do it's duties when needed. It just so happens a friend of a friend had a vehicle that he tried to repair himself and botched it (quotes given were excessive for such a simple job). In the mean time he had already bought his friends vehicle (for $12K). Sight unseen I offered $250 considering the wreckers offered $150 (then $50 after a tow were needed) and all it needed were a 'water pump' so my mate said. Oh that and some windows didn't work (electric).

I'm in the middle of fixing its four common and well known oil leaks for its model before it goes for it's RWC and rego. Including the buy price I'm $680 invested, the only non working parts:

RH/R electric window (regulator busted but the motor still works) - get it later
Side Mirror control switch (switch short circuited) - again get it later

And the vehicle a '98 BMW 318i 5spd man.
