the 1st one is an absolute bargain

[DC-TYPER]

too cheap if you ask me

[neil_jdmr]

Both could be bargains, although as previously said look too cheap, The first one looks like he just wants to claw back his rebuild price imo. Which isnt really a bad thing.
 
 
There are bargains about but if you end up buyin a wrong-un you will end up spending more in the long run.

well its got a decent engine, its been well looked after the only problem seems to be the turbo\'s which i doubt will cost 2k to fix, they could cost up to 3-3.5 k to fix and it will still be reasonable

Ah crap ^^ i read it wrong. I thought that he means that he is running the Car with low boost because of the mods...:chat

Hmm if i add 2-3k it would be too much for me... got about 5k but want to save a bit if something goes wrong....

[dthebuk]

i think at the end of the day £5k wont get you a problem free car.

but 4000 miles is pretty much a new engine which the rebuild could have costed up to about £4k

but yes saving more is definitely a good idea with these cars, if you can only just about afford the car then the second you get a problem (which is quite likely) you\'re pretty much buggered

also i just assume that theres a problem with the boost, if not that cars even more of a bargain. Give the guy a call and see what he says (y)

[pikay]

well hm i thought it would be ok got the 5k in cash now and about 400 a month just for the car.hehe call him is easy to say.hehe the prob is that i cannot check the car cause i live in germany

[dthebuk]

your best bet it to ring re:worx (where the work was carried out) and ask them a few qu\'s about the car. Then if you really are serious about buying it ask if he can take it to reworx for a check, who will then tell you what the cars like. This will cost money though. Other option is to be really nice to a member that lives near the car and ask them to go check it out.


good luck!!!

I have put it up for £5000 as i need a quick sale due to buying a new(boring,slow) car.
 
Could maybe give some website discount;)

[dthebuk]

does it have 60k on the rebuild or 60k on the chassis?

[Colin]

60k on the chassis.
