Price seems maybe a bit to low, just have a good nosey round and take it for a test drive, id be asking if the cambelt has been done to

 

[Mark-172]

Have a good look at the V5 incase its a Cat C / D insurance loss in the past if you dont HPI it. I am unsure at this price if you would be really bothered if its Cat D / Stolen Recovered or not.

[CuppyDean]

[andywa]

Good job you checked that it was cat c/d. I bet if you didn't ask he wouldn't tell. He should have put that in the ad.

 

[DaveDreads]

I'd be going to see this one if I had the money.

You know him?

 

[CuppyDean]

You know him?

Read the posts, he's selling a cat c or d car but he doesn't state that in the advert

 

[AliasOmega]

Cat C / Cat D, it really does not matter, aslong as you know what your dealing with and the price is fair.

If its going to be a trackday car, then why not pick up a Cat C/D car for £1200.?

All depends on the price, the repair and if the buyer is happy with it..

I agree there's no problems as long as they have been repaired well. The problem is when they don't declare it in their advert. What else could be wrong!

I agree if your just using it for trackdays and could get it a bit cheaper could be a good buy. He says the cambelt has been done but cant find the reciept.

 

[AliasOmega]

Anyhow, i dislike the ph1 172, i really hate the steering wheel & the dash.

Maybe its because i owned a ph2..

 

[DaveDreads]

I'm with you on the steering wheel, reminds me of someone with a massive forehead for some reason,
but thats what aftermarket wheels are for.

Dash, meh.

 

[silentsnake]

God, what a shed.
