and I now have a 1998 Ford Escort turbodiesel sitting on the drive.
I was planning to pay 1300 for this one, but he'd knocked it down to 995 before we got there. So I've got 300 in hand to pay for any work needed, like a new cambelt. Which it will get Real Soon Now, preferably this week, as the current one is of unknown vintage. A belt change was done at 30000 miles, so it's probable that one was done at around 60000 as well. And it's now at 90500 miles...
