Help for first time Saxo buyer!

[bgtucker12]

Hi, tomorrow ill be going to look at two Saxo VTR's one is 2001 with 103,000 miles on the clock the other is 2002 with 124,000 miles done. I was just wondering if VTR's that have done this many miles are still worth buying and if they are what are some things i should be looking out for. Any information past what I have asked for would also be very helpful, Thanks.

depends on the condition really

check that the cambelt has been done at some point
look for rust on inner arches,in the bonnet by the ecu, rear arches
check for camber on the rear wheels (could be that the beam has gone £££ to fix)
also crunchy gear changes can be a problem

the usual rust, gear linkage ect
doesnt really matter how many miles it has done as long as it has been looked after and serviced up to date.
just use your loaf... if it is shit just walk away

I've just bought a 2000 x reg vtr with 112000miles on the clock. Proper boy racers car however because there are so many saxos on the road and in breakers yards parts are 10 a penny and cheap enough.
My car was really ready for the scrap yard but £200 later and it's road legal and will go for many more miles and I have plenty of plans for it ; )
