Just sold my Boxster S and now on the look out for a nicely sorted 182, the Boxster was boring, just too damned competent and most unreliable car I have ever owned.

I do have a Jaguar S Type R for daily duties so the 182 (when found) will be a fun weekend car

Welcome aboard mate!

Whereabouts you located?

Welcome to the forum

Based in Telford, done some research so have a fair idea what to look for but any pointers gratefully received

Welcome along

I'm sure you've seen if you have been reading up on them, but the main point is to check if the cambelt has been done recently and importantly by someone who knows what they are doing with the correct locking tools.

Plenty of horror stories on here of local garages messing them up, if it is due factor that into the price of the car.

Deal done on this

Collecting next Tuesday evening but will be driving it home and then leaving it for 3 days whilst I go to Belgium - frustrating is not the word

It was on eBay, looks like its had a decent chunk of money spent on it this year, front / rear OMP braces, Clio Cup steering wheel, full Milltek including decat, Sabelt harnesses etc

67k, belts done 14k, 24 months ago, seller says there is nothing that needs doing it

Really looking forward to getting in to a small, nimble and involving car again, hoping it brings back the smile I had with my Racing Pumas
