Default Another AU in the family

We are now a 2-AU family!

My mum got rid of her VR Acclaim last year as it was an unreliable heap of crap!

Went looking at Fowles on Wednesday & came home with a 2001 AU2 Forte wagon, white, all stock - just came off fleet (Abigroup), 204,000k's up, all in good nick for 4 grand! They were trying to get 5 for EL wagons on gas!
Best bit was taking it for the roadworthy that night, all good except for a blown reverser globe!
Joins my AU3 Fairmont, also in white!

Mods at this stage will most likely be limited to a set of alloys & possibly a window tint. And one of those tailgate spoilers.

Very nice pickup. Once I see how little these cars are going for now kinda makes you if you put mags on it they would probably cost 50% of the vehicle.

Nice and cheap mate, looks very clean too!

Don't worry too much about the kays - my AU3 has 175 and nothing at all feels like it's done that sort of mileage and in the year and a half we've had it the only thing that had to be replaced was the exhaust!
