Bought a Sportage!

As my 75 days have probably (see what I did there?) come to an end, I've been out and bought a Sportage this morning. It's a 2WD 1.7 diesel. I've had a good look around it (including underneath, which surprised the dealer!) and it looks pristine (for a 12 reg). They are currently doing an MOT and a service, which I was going to do myself, as they wouldn't shift at all on the price. Not surprising really as it has only done 48K. The ride isn't a patch on the 75 but it is so easy to get in and out of, which was my main reason to change.

The car I was supposed to look at this morning was given to the seller's sister in law at the last minute!

The one that I have bought was my second choice (as it was too expensive!!!).

Hey ho!

I'll keep popping in to say hello and catch up and keep you informed of the joys (or not) of Sportage ownership.

Keep on Rovering and don't be surprised if you get a wave from a spurious black Kia on your travels.

Regards and thanks to all for putting up with me for so long
