It all started about 5 weeks ago when my wife decided to increase her hours at work. She then thought we needed another car, so after various searches and viewing we have put down a deposit on a New Fiat 500 for her. She hopefully gets the new car in about 6 weeks.
This then got me thinking, as she would only be paying £35 tax a year, what other cars are available in the same tax bracket, and obvioulsy the A2 diesel came into my head. Started looking on the all the usual websites, including this one, once I had remembered my password to see what was available. As nothing close by, decided to go around the local area just to see what was on offer, looking at everything from a Yaris to a Jetta. Obviously needed something with a reasonable boot to carry all the necesary items when you have two kids aged 4 and 7.
So called in at the local Motor Park, stopping at the SEAT garage to look at the Ibiza. After getting out the car and wandering around something caught my eye parked in corner.
A Black A2 TDI Sport, but not any old A2, but MY OLD A2 I had previously owned two and half years ago. So a venture into the showroom, to ask to inevitible question,
IS IT FOR SALE. ????????????
The response came it might be as the owners were out on a test drive in an Altea. So left my details to let me know, then owners returned with me doing a reccy over the car, thats our car he says, we respond, it was also ours. They have now bought the Altea and I have bought my OLD A2 back.
It now has only 42,000 on the clock, 13k more than when I sold it. It has only been used for trips to get the weekly shop. So a deal was done, eventually, and hopefully pick her up again next friday.
So a pure by chance visit to the local dealer has brought me back into A2 ownership.
I really look forward to driving her again.
