So Iv seen a Leon for sale but wanted to check out some stuff first before treking up the country to see it.
its 9 years old with not much over 40,000 on the clock. seems pretty good to me, Iv asked the seller (private, not dealer) a fair amount of question, the usual ones you should ask.
So I went to the Seat garage today and the guy there seemed a bit odd with me, but anyway I told him the milege and age and asked him about the cam belt and before i told him a price he said if it hasnt had the cam belt walk away, because it should have been done within 7 years or 70K miles. which didnt make much sense as i though it was 40-60K miles but still the 7 years old max shoulds possible.
He made the point that if i bough it and it snapped as i pulled off the drive then the seller isnt going to do much. He did o on to say though that "if you do go for it get them down by £600"
this was all before i told him is was £2000 but even then he didnt say much more. he just buggered off.
So anyone got any advice.
As mentioned in other threads, the cars spec is:
