wish i wasnt saving for a flat

Do it, nothing wrong about that.

I bought my Phase 1 from a lady owner who had just gone up and down the M1 nearly 2 years ago and I have loved my car every single day!

Talking of which, there are quite a few RS 172 / 182 lady owners driving around don't you think?

Won't be an issue, make sure it has a decent working aftermarket alarm though.

Thats not that good vlaue £3.8k I'd say you should be paying. Don't forget it needs it cambelt doing soon (5yrs or 72k) and thats expensive.

Looks like it comes with cambelt already changed mate, so no worries about that.

I'd say it's a bargain, but if your mate's offering it to you at that price then I'd say print out the Pistonheads advert and go for the jugular!

Edde.. thats what Iam planning on doing.. The car that I might by is also a Y reg 2001, but its got more miles on it @ 46k. The car will have all its belts changed inc cambelt.. do you guys think the tensioner bearing should be reaplced or will need replacing.?

Yep chnage all the tensioners they fail if there not chnaged don't forget the AUX belt needs changing as well but that should be part of the cambelt service.

£3.8k Edde?

Don't be daft son.

That's valver money mate...

That's valver money mate...

Theres dealers asking £4.2k for 80k cars of the same age. There one in the trader for £3.75k wth 84k and thats what there asking not what they will get.
£3.8 for a valver I wouldn't think so unless it was mint stored in a garage to a collection.
My Williams is worth maybe £3k and thats got other bits on it.
