Opinions on this (serious)

[jackfm]

Thinking of contacting this guy with a serious view to buying the car.

Any thoughts?

Any input would be much appreciated, this is my first experience of buying a car.

Find out when the cambelt/aux belt were done. (Its a £500 job and needs doing every 5 years/72,000 miles)

That was my first thought, thanks for confirming

Oh, and ask him if Ray Charles washed it last.

Cheers for that. I suspected as much "***PRICE DROP***" I was kind of hoping it was because his listing is pretty uninformative and helpless.

Overall though, worth a look? Could well be a bargain, if haggled down

Aye why not no harm in looking mate.

I used that numberplate today to get an insurance quote on 172s...

Bell didn't recognise it, not sure if that's anything to be worried about?

^Could be an import, theres bloody hundreds of them about.

As people have said its been up for a while but not really advertised to its full potential
