Hi,
I currently have a s2000, but looking to upgrade the misses car from a war torn punto, to a cilo.. possiblely a 172 (so i can enjoy it too).. looking to spend about 4K ish..
Now, what im looking for is some sort of buying guide, and running costs.. We are used to low running costs on the S (except the rear tyres, which might as well be made of steam, they just seem to evaporate quickly.) What sort of things 'go' at diff milages, and what should not not buy (i.e 55K miles and the cambelt has not been done)
I hear some nasty surpises on cilos.? is this just b****cks or actually true.
Or if anyone has a 172 for sale about 4k.. I will have a look at the 'for sale' section in a mo.
I have seen this one http://www.autoaddicts.co.uk/GetDealer.do?did=27646&pageid=1 obviouly i would knock the price down.. is that a good example?
Cheers..
