It's not so much about cost though fridge, surely, the cars mentioned above third hand are in smaller new car price territory and I'm pretty certain most won't be carrying bulk loads or have any more than one person in.
I'm not criticising, Ed, but trying to understand. Most cars are designed to last their 3 year warranty and after that it's "God, I've got to get the body off change this or that"
You know I have a 90 to change gearboxes and work on, why would you want to do it on your daily driver ?
