its a turd mate. in its current state,
if you rips everything from halfords from the exterior it might be ok, save for a bit longer and buy a GOOD VTR. there are much better cars out there than that.
youl know which one you going to buy when your driving there to look at it.
is the post code a rough area?
does the owner apprear to look after it.
then buy the car.

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!
