Hi All, Newbie here, and hopefully an owner very soon!
I'm urgently after a tidy 206cc. We've just sold my wifes beetle and she wants a cc. BUT it must be green or orange, she thinks the others are too common! Ideally would like an 2.0 SE with leather, but would consider anything really! I'm in essex and the closer the better, but can travel for the right car at the right price! Money, Ideally around the 3500, but can go upto about 4500 maybe for slightly newer or less miles, have been looking from about 2001 - 2003. Also, if no ones got one for sale, or knows of one near them for sale that they could tell me about, can anyone tell me what to look out for on them if I go and look at one? any common problems etc....
Thanks everyone, and looking forward to being a member of the club!!!!

Yippee!!! I've found one. Just put a deposit down, going to collect next week. It's a 2003 1.6 Allure. It's a metallic red and very tidy, 58000 miles with FSH.....£5000, I think it's a good price, Unmarked black leather too!

Good well done. Let's hope you've got a good'un.
I'd now sit down and read the manual. Most of the problems seem to be self-inflicted...especially problems concerning the roof operation.
