Welcome. I think I've seen it once before but I've no idea who it belongs to.

hi and welcome..

looks nice though its a lot of money for a standard 5 speed, get someone that knows the cars well to view with/for you if you can.have you read the buyers guide on here? it would be a good idea.


Moderator: adverts in the correct section only

It is on the steep side for a 5 speed 20vt.
You could be looking at a tidy plus or 6 speed on a late plate with similar miles for similar money.

welcome and good luck matey, you've come to the right place! read the buyers guides

Hi Paul
Manchester's not exactly round the corner should it turn out to be in the flesh a bit of a dog. And like others have said for that sort of money you'd want to know a bit more detail such as close up of the bodywork condition not the sales spiel(the pics aren't that great to really tell for sure) plus to know the maintenance history of whats been renewed when e.g. when the belts were last changed etc. as this'll add £400 to the bill if due.

Buying off a club member where the people know the car from old if probably safest bet. Like it's been said the buyers guide is a good start. Sometimes Joe of Countrycrusing or Rog of PowerItalia might know someone selling a good one.

if you want one like that but this one

thanks Carlito,ive got this on my watch list but dont really like the front bonnet

Welcome to the forum. For that money you're looking at a late Plus or LE, or a very nice 20vt-6.

Good luck in your search

As others have said - looks overpriced, unless theres more been done than the advert says.

And "trip computer"... unless I'm wrong, I've never heard of these being fitted?

Your not wrong

Welcome to the forum matey!!
However,,,,,,,dont do it they are more trouble than a mother in law,wife,kid,dalmation wrapped into one big nasty pound sapping parcel!!!!!! Get a Jap,steer clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly mark my words,you will regret it ,trust me!!!!!!
My name is Paul,im going to buy a Yaris!!!!!!!!

I dont know the car but I can tell you if you go and see it or communicate with the buyer ask if he/she knows if the rims aren't buckled. When I bought my LE, with same alloys (Eta Beta Alnairs) all 4 were buckled. I think they are made from a soft alloy and/or not alot of support between the spokes. Having said all that to me the coupe looks wonderful on 5 spoke alloys, IMHO.

I guess you want broom yellow, but this one has a good spec, although I dont necessarily recommend ebay for buying cars.

needs a re-spray at some stage.

good luck mate.

That's also advertised on here, so a genuine enthusiast owner, not an 'ebay special'

Anyway too late now ,you are automotively doomed! Prepare to sell your woman/man,children,pets,house,arse,.
Welcome to the paranoid ridden realms of coop ownership matey,enjoy the ride,check your oil and make sure your nuts are tight!!!!

.... and make sure your bonnet is shut properly!

Seriously though, welcome aboard . Nice to have another owner in Kent, so hope to see you around. What model and colour have you bought?

Any advice you need will be found on these pages. Good luck,

Tim

Think he bought Danielthemanuals yellow 20vt Tim. If it's anything like his old VIS that I have it'll be a good one

Yellow, we all know it makes sense

If I see a flying Custard on the M2 I can provide the green rhubarb!!
