Hi, i hope i'm writing in the proper category.
I can't enter the Wanted category, becouse i'm a newbie, and i'm giving a Link to a car, so i decided to write here.
I got my driving license last week, and i'd like to buy a car now. I've decided to buy a Saxo a long time ago. I had opportunity to drive it, and i know that it's proper car for me.
I am located in Dublin. Tomorow i'm going with my dad to check one car.
My dad knows a lot about cars, but anyway i'd like to ask if there are some weak points in Saxo that we should pay attention to.
This is ---> Saxo Furio (http://www.cbg.ie/car_detail.aspx?ID=2831330) that i'm going to check.
If you know this car (i belive that club members know every Saxo in town:D), and know if there might be something wrong with it, please let me know.
Sophie.

Check for leaks in the sun roof, play in the rear bearing. (wooble wheel about) power steering moans wet car mats. rust in the bay and underside of car. Check no rust in the boot. If your dad knows alot about cars should be fine.

Welcome to sax-p cant see the link for some reason but power steering pumps can be a common problem and make sure you lift the carpet in the boot and check for rust as the boot floor was falling out on my old west coast also check for rust under the ecu cover and the sunroofs are prone to leak, hope its all alright good luck with the purchase
