if it had decent tyres that would be top price, but it has Nexen ditch finders

 

[MargateChris182]

yeah don't worry about them I'd change them as soon as I got it

 

[Daniel]

It's right at the top end of the price bracket, but coming from Ktec, you'd expect it to be 100% perfect and needing nothing.

 

[Fred@BTM]

apart from decent tyres

 

[Addicted]

And if they skimp on tyres, what else did they skimp on

 

[Bobby.]

Looks clean but that is strong money.

Peasant spoiler as well.

Anyone know where u can get them from?

 

[Jekyll]

Renparts, eBay or here if someone is breaking one.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Not for me.

IME, you can tell how a cars been treated with the shoes its wearing. It doesn't surprise me that it has tree finders on if he's been using k-tec. The guy will have been scratching his arse.

But it's a £4000 car once you get 4x decent tyres & a cup spoiler.

That's nearing an entire £1000 more than one bought privately with a bit of patience...

that's nearing £1000 more than I bought mine for 2 years ago... not good value imo.

 

[MargateChris182]

Need to sell my car first and then I would be without transport to work or social driving.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

You won't be stuck, between PH/AT/Gumtree there are only about 1000 1*2's for sale :-/

 

[MargateChris182]

It has to be lowish mileage though. Below 60, 000 is a must for me.
And I live in possibly the worst place to look for a car.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Two things;

1. Mileage means absolutely f**k all, how a cars been looked after matters far more than anything. Condition > Mileage. Always. Unless you have a mental hang up about mileage in which case thats fair enough.

2. You're severely limiting your market by not venturing further afield. Your perfect car by the law of averages is circa 190 miles away, make that journey. Travelling > Owning a pup.

Speaking only from experience, ofcourse.

good luck!

 

[Bobby.]

Why sub 60k? I don't know why some people worry about mileage so much with these.

and you've got to be willing to travel a bit Chris!

 

[MargateChris182]

Oh im willing to travel no problem but without a car and 250+ miles away is a bit much,
Yes I know mileage isn't everything but it does mean something.
I mean ive seen a 182 for sale in Norfolk with 29,000 miles on it which I ofcourse you would go for over one with 80,000 on it right?
Personal opinion but that's what I think.
Just need to sell mine to be able to get one.

 

[theduck]

I'd go for the 80k car over the 29k car if the 80k car was better looked after.

 

[Bobby.]

Lol @ the way mine and Danny's answers were basically the same!

One thing though Danny how on earth did you work out an average of 190miles?

Chris, whilst a low mileage car is nice, it's doesn't mean it's been looked after.

 

[Matt W]

Seems a bit steep when you can get a 200 for 2k....
