When I was twenty one my dad bought me a Volkswagen Golf Mark 2 Gti which was my absolute pride and joy. I kept that car for over five years and over time the car actually became a bit of a collectors item and its value soared. Six months ago I had it valued by my insurance company at just over three thousand pounds, and to me it was worth more. It had only done eighty thousand miles and the body work was in perfect condition.
You can imagine how I felt when I pulled out of a junction one day only to be met by another vehicle which failed to see me and took most of the bonnet of my car off along with the engine at about forty miles an hour! At first I was just pleased to be ok, but the depression about losing my car set in pretty quickly. The car was a write off,
and although the insurance of the other driver would pay out, I really wasn’t sure that I would be able to find another as good.
Luckily for me I knew a great place online to find Motors. It was a car search site
which allowed you to select various criteria before you started searching. This meant that I could search for a golf of a similar age and mileage, and when I did this I was thrilled to see one for just less than three thousand pounds which I loved! I went to see the car and it was in just as good condition as mine! Naturally I bought it on the spot, and I just thakn my lucky stars that I knew about the great car website!
