WELCOME to the club mate. Not sure about that saxo you went to see, what is the service history like?
Ask him to take you for a spin, if he rags the shite out of it when cold then DONT BUY IT. You can normally tell if they look after it by the way they drive it + Service History
GOOD LUCK

i didnt see the service history, had a go in it, steering seemed to pull to the left a bit, my first car so i dont know if its just me! Its just up the road literally from me, a 5 minute walk, isnt too rough but the lad does look like he ragged it a bit and also they seemed desperate to sell it!
