Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....

Managed to finalise the deal on our Jeep Cherokee today. Another ex-pat, who lives in Lapta fancied it very much, but had a Mitsubishi Lancer that he needed to sell, so I had a trial in that and agreed to take it in part exchange. My feeling is that it will be easier to sell the Mitsubishi as it is a straight 4 door saloon and a very nice looking car. I am happy to keep it for a little while myself, but it is a manual gearbox and only 1300cc, maybe I'm just getting lazy in my old age and I fancy just a little bit more power, only 1500 or 1600cc. Strangely enough, I went down to my regular garage to fill the tank this afternoon and the owner there realised that it was not our Jeep that I was driving, so I told him about my deal, without giving him any prices and he immediately offered to buy it, for cash and for only £500 less than I had paid to trade it, so that bodes well if I want to sell it on.

Still no phone again, but then would you expect anything else by now. Guess its a start of a new month and more visits to the council and telephone offices.
