Hi all, just put a deposit down on a 2006 1.6 petrol Berlingo. Paying balance and collect it a week on Saturday after it has had a full service, new cam belt and MOT.
I generally hate buying used cars as I am no mechanic. This is coming from Trelawney Citroen in Penzance and has been serviced by them throughout its life and was supplied by them when new. Not a pristine example as every bumper corner has scratches but the actual body panels are undamaged. Low miles and price reflects condition of bumpers. Also needs a good valet. It was one they took in part ex on a new Citroen.
I plan on having some smart repairs to bumper paint or picking up some black plastic bumpers from fleabay.
Hopefully the basic car will be sound. It drives well.
Any advice welcome re the 1.6 petrol engine. Don't know if they have any known faults.
