Heard bad things about that garage, on this site iirc.

Member went viewing a CS he had in and said it was nothing like stated in the advert, cars were dirty etc. I wouldn't get your hopes up to be honest.

 

[cat171]

I've put this here for you as someone may know the car etc.

I think someone on here has already looked at that cup and stated that it was as rough as a badgers 4rse ...

 

[Jonff]

Yeah I went to view this car a while back, needed alot doing to it etc. There's a reason it's been sat on their grounds for months.

Can't believe they've only knocked £200 off the asking price since I went to see it.

 

[jordan172]

jonff is yours up for sale already? i think i saw a for sale ad a month or so ago

 

[Jonff]

Nope!

MattyJones has his for sale and he just bought his about 3 weeks before me.

HT reg's were RUK iirc. That means it was a press car/demo car. (screwed the b****cks off it by everyone that drove them, I know I did!)

But just looking at that sdvert, the carpet has been painted black, it needs wheels refurbing, and the steering wheel is shot to f**k .

Avoid!

 

[Mells]

That looks shot to s**t tbh.

 

[jordan172]

mine is a HT

 

[tonksy26]

ok cheers guys glad i know now before i went to see it, will keep on looking then

 

[Chili Red]

Isn't Cliosport useful?

Worth the tenner sometimes.

Hope you find a good one.

 

[tonksy26]

yup + the friday threads cnt complain

That steering wheel is one of the worst one's I've seen, it looked like someone had taken a pen knife to it and the wheels are curbed all round the wheels. Looks like someone has deliberately drove down curbs on both sides.

I've had one and fun wise handling there unreal!

Out of all the moters i've had that gave me the most cheap frills

She didnt like to brake though its like she only ever wanted to speed

Hit a bus end of story

There real bad on braking i found anyway
I'd upgrade that straight off now looking back
and then maybe i would'nt of been looking at the back of that bus

 

[Bluebeard]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the standard brakes on a 172/or a cup.

You must have had some cheap aftermarket ones fitted by the previous owner or something.
