Thanks guys.

I\'d want to see a compression test, photos of the engine bay, interior and front & back of the car - bit odd that there aren\'t any.

When you\'re looking at the car you\'d want to see evidence of proper maintenance by someone who knows what they\'re doing and not Bodgit & Leggit car services.

how often have oil changes been done? What oil used? Who has done the servicing?

As above ask for a ROTARY compression test.

what sort of driving has the owner used it for? (RXs don\'t on the whole like stop-start driving and they need to be redlined reasonable often)
