Personally I'd stay well clear off it mate. Have you checked all the documentation and made sure the owner of the car is who He or She selling it is?

 

[Maz]

can't you change the locks ?? would be worth the cash for peace of mind if you could ...

What reg is the car ??

I wouldn't. I'd always have that nagging feeling thats it's been driven by someone that doesn't give a sh*t how badly they treat the car/engine.

 

[Rich]

I'd only want it if it was really cheap to use as a track day car.

 

[edde]

Wouldn't bother me I'd have new keys made up and get a private plate on it though just incase a third set of keys have been made.

 

[DIRTY ICEBURG]

i dont want to upset any one but having just joined this forum it sounds like a lot of owners cain there cars anyway?am i wrong to think this.if it looks ok drives well and you get it checked out go for it...

 

[Neil G]

In one word

No

[kully]

mayb..........depends if was sound engine wise ....but u would still b paranoid ino

 

[Final Maxim]

yea definatly, fair enough they might have pushed the car hard when they nicked it, but sureley thats what your gonna do when you buy it anyway. cant see any difference myself

 

[GarethM]

id definatley have to check it out very thoroughly and definatley change the locks.

where abouts is it paul??

Do you think the thiefs drove around waiting for the engine to warm up properly before thrashing the living sh*t out of it?

 

[paul_h172]

had all locks replaced by a renault dealer, think it would make me a little paranoid about the car, its a 53 plate maz, seen it at newcastle mate

 

[ben_p]

id have it, if i was looking to keep for a few years if it was cat d reg'd

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah i'd buy it, i'd haggle the price down more though

who cares if its been thrashed, they all are anyway

 

[edde]

I've seen owners drive cars like this ever day being driven like this once isn't going to kill it.

 

[Day]

Of course.

How do you really know your car's history anyway!

So it's been thrashed once, mine has hundreds of times and it puts out enough bhp still....

just to be on the safe side id have the locks changed again. and see if you can get the price down..

 

[Tom Rigbanks]

When it was stolen it was probably given a rest from continually being thrashed by its owner.

Id offer 5.5k and yes i would buy it.

 

[Iain C]

not at £6k no....4.5/5 mabye

 

[Martin]

There is only so hard you can press on the loud pedal lol I'd buy if it was cheap...

 

[Nat8701]

i'd buy it ,i would also knock him down £500 or so.
you cant says its be ragged jst because its been stolen,nobody knows how it has been treated- or any other car for that matter. the car is pretty new anyway.

 

[Laura]

id hav it, i thrash my car everyday but thats the only way i can get any thing out of it

 

[Maz]

I would find out how much it would cost for the locks changed again and try and knock them down to cover this cost just to put your mind at rest .. and like said its no big deal if you are going to hang onto it for a bit ..

 

[Englebert]

I'd pay 5k.
