So here's my new one. Picked up last weekend.
She was owned by a member at one point, as a number plate search brings up his profile. Came with over 4 grands worth of receipts (most from engine dynamics) and belts about 3 years away from needing to be done. Pulls well, sounds nice due to custom exhaust. Quiet at low revs and moderate at full chat.
Haven't had much time with her as of yet. Went for laser wheel alignment this morn, was pretty much spot on.
Got him to check the tyre pressures as well and one was only on 6PSI! The others were around 4/5 PSI under what they should have been. Thought it felt a bit drifty. Drives lovely and handles a lot better now. The laser guy also noticed an oil leak. Not sure where from. So will need to be investigated. Seller never mentioned this, but then again he might not have known. Doesn't seem major and the oil level is still pretty much on point.
Cleaned it (not waxed though, no time today). Which I HATE doing. As you always notice scratches/small dents etc that you wouldn't have noticed before, and then you can't stop seeing them after. This was no exception. Few I knew about from what the seller said, but a few that wasn't and now is burned into my vision every time I look at it lol. So that is also on the agenda to be sorted.
Interior though is pretty perfect! Even if it is the poverty spec.
So after the above is rectified, plus a new set of wheels because turinis, it will be staying as is. I don't drive it Monday to Friday as I have a work van and don't park in car parks either, I'm hoping it's worthwhile to get the bodywork up to scratch. As I never really put the car in a situation where it could be hit. (Touch wood)
For the price I paid I expected bits to do to get it up to a standard i'd be happy with. So all in all I'm not disappointed with the purchase
