Hi Everyone,

 

FIrst time post here.

 

I'm off to look at this car on Saturday: http://www.pistonhea...mileage/2956057

 

Does anyone have any prior knowledge of this car, or advice for me? I have read the buyer's guide, but to be honest I'm not much cop with a spanner and aside from a basic test drive and a good look down the panels don't have a lot of mechanical knowledge.

 

Any tips would be appreciated.

 

Clive.

.too faraway for me...but I am sure if you ask nicely someone will go along with you ..there a few owners in your aaea.... but dont let them get you talking about any mods until youve bought it...

This was sold by turboluca on here to the current seller who's only had it a couple of months. Turboluca is a sound bloke. PM him for some background.

Meant to add that Turboluca doesn't sell rubbish, either!

Take your time don't dive in an view it ,go away an view more than one then make your mind up . Good luck

[Rudy]

Jack - think you mean don't dive in and buy it? Hopefully a local owner has pm'd and offered to go with you form a poke about. Doesn't look too shabby tho

[Podley]

Thanks for all the suggestions. Have already looked at one near Bristol recently for £5995 which I didn't go for. Will ask Turboluca as suggested!

Theres a few of us around if you need a hand with anything

I'd looked at this one too out of interest as I'm not taking the plunge yet... the number of owners put me off slightly; it's probably worth understanding a little bit more about that too.

Lots of owners not a problem on these - change hands frequently. I would check why this chap is only selling after a few months, though..

[myles]

Yeah, I wouldn't be too concerned with owner numbers. These are bought with a certain experience in mind, and generally end up being not quite what they expected.

Good to know
