RE: [doc] OT - Buying diesel cars in general

["Dean Mitchell" <deanscheme@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nick's right, the Peugot 106 diesel is extremely economical.  My mechanic 
has one for his wife and i've used it while my Focus Diesel is being 
serviced.

However, I hope you have small feet, I found the pedals extremely close 
together when driving it.

As I drive approx 30,000 Miles a year I have to use a Diesel, but if you've 
got a mechanic friend i'd recommend picking a car up from an auction BUT 
ONLY IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE WITH YOU WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

Don't fear auctions, if you go to a dealers you could be most likely buying 
a car that they'd picked up from an auction and stuck a hefty profit on top.
