Drive Shaft?
Girlfriends looking to get at this Ford KA one part exchange for her 1999 Corsa, reading the details it says the drive shafts dodgy. Sorry if im being a dumb bastard but whats the drive shaft and how much would she be looking at for a repair if it was to completely F up? Again sorry, its been a long week

Oh right, seems cool then. Just wondered cause i know how these dealers are these days acting like its a minor job then it'll end up costing more than the car. Cheers tho mate, repped.
£1,694 for a 1.3i 2002, 56,000 miles...decent or rip off?
Heres the link if it helps http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk..._mileage=60000

High mileage for the age, looks tidy but dodgey driveshaft could well be that it's been thrashed abit, as the wheels suggest. I'm sure there's much better examples to be bought straight from an old woman as, at the end of the day, a Ford Ka isn't exactly the young peoples car.
Might be worth looking abit further.

Yeah, tried telling her that the mileage is high for the age but she's fallen in love with it. Gonna have a look around and see if theres any other KA's with better condition. Cheers for the replies lads.
