Buying a cup - help please

[king.stromba]

Im going to look at some cups tonight. Can someone give me some buying advice of what to look for. The cup is an 02 with 13,000 miles on the clock. When do cups have their servicing intervals? The car is said to be standard and is for sale at 9500 quid.



Cheers

Service is at either 12k or 2 years which ever comes 1st.

Things I would check for myself, and I know more people may post others;

Kerbed wheels - suspension will not withstand big kerb shunts, any paint probs/overspray. Check that it has all the badges.

Not a bad price at 9.5k

Check the clearance between the subframe and engine. Floor it in first year so the wheels lose traction.

there shouldnt be a deal wrong with it unless its had a crash repair or something.looks for signs of repairs and get a hpi check done.sounds a fair price though.
