is the car standard

full mot, 6 months tax

give us some more details mate

i paid £1500 for mine from a dealer, came with mint 15" wolfrace alloys, everything else was standard, had lots of new bits put on it just before i bought it, mot, tax, new discs all round

that was on 80k miles aswell

mines going up for sale soon, although ill start my price high and get knocked down a fair whack

 

[DAVE_RSi]

also ask if cambelts been changed

if they dont know or are not sure then thats a £200 bill straight away to get done, it has to be done

check what mileage it was done at aswell

u dont want that snapping

anyway, give u ssome more details on the car, also ask if the sunroof leaks, very commen, although an easy fix but a reason 2 use 2 knock them down

LOL

I paid £1k for mine on 103k miles

Check everything, gearbox, cv joints, rust on rear arches etc etc, nothing really model specific

Recon thats abouta fair price, although ask about servicingin the last few k, if its run for 20k on the same oil things in teh engine could well start to wear

how do i check the cv joints?

 

[DAVE_RSi]

so the cambelt hasnt been done?? or it was done at 65k

if it was done at 65k then its ok

if its not been done, then itll need doing asap which will be £100-200 so u could knock him down on that

cv joints, check under the car near driveshafts, check theres no leaks from the gaitors! if u drive it have it on full lock both directions and listen for any knocks or jolts

whats body work like, dents?? scratches?

you can prob get it for £1400 id have thought, maybe slightly less if u can find something 2 knock him down on
