I've been offered a free Concerto from a workmate but it has a smashed rear windscreen.
The car has Mot until July, needed welding last year and is a 1.6 (130bhp version).
It would seem like a good car to get, especially for free but it's proving very hard to source a rear windscreen and as I have no garage, I'm thinking that by the time it needs an mot (and probably more welding) that I would be lucky to find a screen in that time and it would have been a pointless excersise. Also, having a car with no back window sitting out on the road is not a good idea in Glasgow as people will assume it's abandoned and see if the other windows smash in a similar fashion.
I'm veering towards declining the offer, but maybe I'm missing a trick on having a practical 2nd (ok 3rd) car..
