Nice one, sounds good.

Nice one mate, hope she turns out to be a good un!

why would it need engine rebuild at 58k?

 

thought these engines were supposed to be indestructable

I'd have hammered the old boy down the 3.5k but then I'm a b@stard!! :D sounds like a good buy! Planning any mods?

No engine is indestructable ;)

 

You will have to look at the history to find out why it had a rebuild, or you could ask the owner. Could be just unlucky like timing belt snapped, or a major oil leak when driving which the driver didnt notice.

 

I have known 2 people at work who have had their engine blow on their fords which where less than a year old and have less than 10,000 miles on.

That's a Ford, though Stuart.....(Fix Or Repair Daily) :D

 

No, seriously it could be either of the things SRRAE said. My first Supra Turbo had a full engine rebuild at 62000. The head gasket went (Common prob on Mk3 Turbo Soops) the oil fried and the rest is history......

 

Before I bought it fortunately ;)

 

If you look there are a few nice low mileage UK cars out there. Sounds like you got a bargain too. Good luck, hope it's a good one.
