I might have 3 for sale in feb/march next year but will be asking slightly more for them.

All work is is been carried out on them as of now and will come with a years mot

One has very little rust on the rear arches.

Also just to point out when buying these cars make sure you have a look at past mot certs as a select few have had a dodge mots. So look at the past mots an have a look at work that should of been carried out!!!

Worries me when people put "likely to be forged" and most of the rust was removed lol surely after 13 years of ownership you would have shone a torch down the bore to have a look?!

will be interesting to see how it sells as it shows what the going rate is, no mention of a uprated turbo or remap with nistune or similar.

Mad4it was looking at that first one on gumtree good price and looks ok.!!!! But then mine looks mint in a picture lol
the bottom link is nice to..!!
Been looking at one on FB as it's got a lot of stuff I like and seems in pretty good nick been owned by owner for 14 yrs.

Just to many people think there mint until you pick about at it.. And defo will watch mots and any work done thank for tips
any other places to look..??
if I was going to pay over 4k I'd want a full inspection done and side skirts removed as they hide quite a bit

Hi,

No worries and good luck. Apart from the obvious - Gumtree, Ebay, On here, Pistonheads or Autotrader, I cant really think of others to be honest.

I would imagine Xmas time is a bit quiet to be honest so you might want to wait until early new year.

Hi Chris

Usual things really arches and sills can take a battering if the previous owners don't take care. Its really first impressions, does it look cared for, tidy bodywork and underside, owner knows what he is talking about within reason, engine pulls and feels strong no hesitation or undue noise, no real major things to be careful of other than the usual turbo car would, check the clutch in 5th for signs of slipping as its not the best job to do lol
 
I always HPi all cars I look at now as I've been caught out a couple of times with both bikes and cars!! For the sake of a few quid its worth the peace of mind! Trust no one mate!!
