Yeah..........But NO.
Lets just think about this, would you not rather spend in the range of £4500 form a single nice lady owner who has looked after her can and every thing is still exactly as the dealer left it (even what the radio's tuned into)? Or would u rather buy some car what’s done 80,000 miles 50,000 of which I’m sure are of it raggin it down back roads and highways? i know you cant always judge a book by its cover so heres my next argument, im a member of this forum for a few reasons
1) i want to know how to look after my car properly so i get proper free advice
2) i want to know how to do "upmarket" mods to my car, ones that aint gonna kiill it after a few miles, i get decent advice form ppl that are in the know. im sure if any one made a post on here stating that they went hardcore racing down back roads jumping their car, thrashing the t*its off it, then handbrake turning it after doing a 5min burn out, that person would soon get about 500 members from this site waving the :ban: sign at them? are you getting what I’m saying?

If the guy loves his car more than he loves racing it, then I’m sure he would be a member of this site? I’m sure 90% of ppl in his age range who want to do things like that to their car are members of this site??

(oh and just to rub the salt in the wound no coming back to me with "he may not have da-net" cause he's posted his car on E-bay)


:whistle:

True say!
he dosnt sound much of a techical person on the car. wanted to see how the engine bay looks aswell!

No point buying a nice car looking car then turns around you have to spend money on engine parts that needs replacing!

Id be happy with most of the mods, its the frontal that its had that warranted the new headlight, dinged bonnet (and probably the bumper change) and that the light is still not able to be aligned with the front leading edges of the bodywork is what would worry me.
