Good value for money? Anything I should look out for at this mileage other than cambelt which has been done?

Thanks

I'd want more details on the history (What miles/time was it done?) and i'd want to know who did the cambelt.

Other than that, looks a nice car! Price nicely too.

"The car has up to the Cambelt change in service history (Done between Jaybee Motors in England, Sere in Northern Ireland where I bought the car in 2007 and finally Shelbourne for the Cambelt - Invoice is sitting beside me). Note I did not get the 72000 mile service done yet but this can be completed before sale if required. Mileage is at 69000 so will be OK to 72000. Also its worth noting that I've changed the oil and filter every 6000 miles with Fuchs Titan 5W40 fully syn. "

Have asked for date and mileage of the cambelt change. Some marks on the rear bumper and wheels need a refurb but still looks like it could be worth a look!

Surely 30+mpg is acheivable in these taking it easy. I get 45mpg in the Yaris. Couldn't live with sub 30 I don't think!

Do headlight washers mean xenons?

 

[ado]

Yes.

I remember that car from Oxford. Always looked good.

Looks spot on that mate, very well priced as well. Go for it !

If belt has been done properly and service book is in order then that's a beauty for the price

Well he sounds like he knows what he's on about, which is a good thing!

You snooze you lose.

Bummer shoulda been faster !

 

[StevenMc29]

Seen it last night. Was gonna go see it this evening. Wouldn't take a day off work to go view a car locally. Ah well...

 

[Cro]

Sorry Steven

 

[Chrisgti6]

That was very cheap!! Someone got a bargain!

I've been toying with the idea of selling mine recently, but wouldn't let it go that cheap. Maybe £5.5k, but it still needs the belts doing.

 

[StevenMc29]

PM me details if/when you do !

 

[adam1942]

Sorry Steven I thought it might have been you! It was my motor and Cro left with it tonight. He made an offer I couldn't refuse and cash in hand I couldn't afford to turn him down! Sorry mate I hope you find one in the future

 

[StevenMc29]

Not a problem! I'll find a new car soon!
