[Sharky-VTR]

funny u shud say that bout seats - was just gunna say they kinda look diff - not standards are they? dont seem it from the pics

[Sharky-VTR]

not sure im taking him the morn to have a peak.looks like there not standard

[bexster82]

i do like the condtion of the car tho - looks VERY tidy mate.

i know high mileage does put some people off but if ya bro does like it then sod it - buy it eh!

[Matty_VTR]

i ment like work done to it like... new exhaust at x miles, gasket at x miles. Id only touch a car with high millage if it had a full history of everything that had been done to it. Yea it might only be £450 but might end up costing you 3 times as much fixing it.

[Sharky-VTR]

il be checking the service history on it,like i said its got a years ticket on it.so if he gets a year out of it then flogs it for parts:y: bonus!!!

[craig180]

Looks too good to be true. Make sure you have a proper butchers around it before handing over any cash.

Make sure Engine/VIN numbers tie in with the log book etc

[Sharky-VTR]

forgot to mention its from a garage,it came in as a px,any1 got any tips for when i go to look at it??

cheers

[bexster82]

check everything carefully really - make sure everything looks rights on the paperowkr/history etc - esp check the mot certs too

tbh they might not give him any warrenty on a £450 car,but il be asking anyway

[laura_g]

Aye its worth a shot tbh which i found bargains like that seems a brill price

[bexster82]

wot kinda of garage is it? i mean do they sell any old kinda car or new cars? cus if they sell new new cars then maybe he selling it cheap cus it high mileage and he just needs it sold asap - just a guess - let us know if ya bro buys it

you should see the cars they sell!!!!!Jap imports!!!!!il be having a squint and il take some pics:y:

[bexster82]

:y: nice one

[kylie]

think 400 quid is well worth it! if it runs ok then why not? ive seen cars up for sale that've got more than 100 k miles on the clock that sell for more than that

[Sharky-VTR]

think the general feeling is he wants rid asap.

[kylie]

go check it out properly. you can pay the aa n some other car places to have a look at a car before you buy it to see if they are road worthy. dont think its that expensive either!

[bexster82]

if u get RAC to check cars b4 u buy its £200!!!!

[kylie]

:oops: maybe not then!

[rogerreno]

Its a cheap car at £450 and to be fair 100k isn't really big miles on todays roads. Check the service history and listen to the engine...that should tell you more.

Looks clean enough, defo worth a look, just make sure you knock him down £50 to compensate for the embarasment of having to drive a car away with Lexarse lights fitted!!! And don't forget your balaclava!!!

[Sharky-VTR]

there is a place near me called Rapid fit.they check it for £80 so i might get them to do it
