Bryan Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I got my 1993 (Dec '93) Orion TDi for £775... Full Ghia spec with leccy windows/central locking blah blah. Best car I've bought yet... I was offered a 1.8 Orion for next to nothing not long ago - bit of a ding on the front but I have another mk5b lying around I coulda used for parts. I'm kicking myself now. But, that's life.

escort_16v Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I've heard tesco and elephant are good for young and first time drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Maybe the other side of the car is Red and all the doors are missing! But seriously, that is probly all you would get for it cos they are common as... Maybe worth HPI'ing though if you were thinking of buying, just for piece of mind...

Dunk Posted March 4, 2003 Author Share Posted March 4, 2003 i just phoned the guy. asked how many miles he said 70,000-80,000. Ok I thought, asked condition, he said excellent not a mark, kinda expected that but still. He said its cus it was part ex and that all they gave the owner for it. . only 3 miles from me, i know where it is so i might take a look during the week. Just gonna get some insurance quotes.
