alot of the cars there are pile of heaps, some have very shoddy history and some are well overpriced! but you can get a descent one as a few will tell you. talk to the guys on the frs forum!
if you want a frs, i would suggest buying from someone on the forum..

I'd read up before buying. If you do your research, pay for an inspection before buying, far better off buying private IMO.
Better buying private. Garages offer a 'warranty' that isnt worth the paper its written on, will tart cars up to sell them, and for the same money, the car you get is far worse.
If a car is looked after, most will sell it privately. If a car needs work, they'll trade it into a garage who doesnt know its history...
There are exceptions on either side, but thats what ive found.

all i would say is dont buy from jct28 and dont buy until you've been on here
http://bbs.rsownersclub.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=134 and asked about them as they are rare and their are a few things to know before you buy ie try and get a late model with the pink cable and stitched base seats.

they do torque steer like a btch but aslong as your not a idiot, you can control it, a descent set of tyres and a good suspension set up will see you right (even tho they are a great car down the twisties)

My mates has a blue fin chip or remap, whatever it is?? And the torque steer is unreal, not just in 1st or 2nd gear but i found even in 4th gear it wanted to either pull into a ditch or an oncoming car, it really is a bit of a beast to tame.
Cancel the gym membership if you get one as the biceps will be bulging after a few weeks of reigning the steering wheel in.
In all honesty i actually found it quite a difficult car to drive fast, if you're sticking in a high gear and planting it then it's fine but on a road with loads of gear changes it's a different story, handles like it's on rails though.
He also has a bailey DV and it's a great buzz, i still feel the pictures (as with the new model) don't do the car any justice at all, they really are quite imposing in the flesh.
Dash is minging though.
