Well, despite my complete ineptitude when it comes to buying cars, today we picked up a nice Peugeot 406.

It's an 8 year old 406 1.9 L TD. Nothing special, but compared to the complete nail that I've been driving for the last few years, it feels superb. It's clean, the stereo sounds good, it sweet to drive and there's no obvious problems with the mechanics.
I'm just praying now that I haven't bought a lemon.
