Advice on buying 1.9

[ThoraB]

Well... 1 month later, I'd given up on this car but the garage rang today & have done the repairs. He said they'd been sent the wrong parts. I have asked around & heard that this garage is pretty decent. They've had the car advertised on the internet for ages. Could anyone advise me on what my top offer should be? I'm trading in a 15 year old micra- saving grace is that it works, it's automatic & only has 68k on clock, cons: peeling paint. they still seem to be selling at £7-900 though. Their last offer for berlingo was £1250 plus my car. I don't want to pay more than £1000, bearing in mind the cam belt will need replacing this year. What do you think...

cheers
