and you'll get plenty of refs.

 

Is it private sale or dealer?

 

You'll have some guarantee from a dealer.

 

Speak to the previous owners.

 

Ask to see her started from cold.

Does the stick flap about in gear?

Accelerate, take foot off; any horrible clunking?

Any funny noises on hard L/R lock?

Take the dip stick out and sniff it.

Any funny coloured smoke from exhaust?

 

Do you trust the guy selling it?

 

 

etc

Welcome back to the discerning group.

thanks for the tips guys - its all coming back to me now!

I looked at it last night. It was priced at £6300 (top dollar asking price) it had 18's, modified front end and spoiler etc. 108K on an h plate. I couldn't really fault the car as such, it did run nice. But it just wasn't the minter that money would normally command. I think i wouldve paid just under 5 for it. But walked away in the end. I think the 300 i owned before was in better condition mechanically(when i sold it!)

 

Thanks again
