Scaring away newbies again.

The only one I found out of line was you with this stupid comment.

There was nothing wrong with the guy's first post.

I don't know anything about this particular car, but hello and welcome to a great resource. what I will offer is be very careful and do your research over and over again- a good coupe is a brilliant car, and the reverse applies...

I bought one uneducated in may; and have since bought what I should have first time round. they are worth seeking out, and the seeking out is worth it.

I don't know the car, but I do believe (from my experience anyway) that the 1998's and prior seem to handle rust better than the 1999's!! Not much help I know.

Welcome smile

I remember the car. The original engine went bang big time so was replaced. Grey leather is original and rare to find in the uk. Nice car from what I remember.

If its the one above, I remember this car for sale back in November when I bought mine. Someone on here was looking at it. Cant find the post but he found it very difficult to insure as its an import. I think from Germany. Ex-Forces car?? So the buyer pulled out.

Hi philross

If the above comment is true about insurance it might be worth checking first and then if it's something in budget then as stated do some research if you haven't already.

In my experience and my opinion there's not alot of coupes that don't require some work however big or small

Good luck and welcome to the forum

Mine's an ex forces car from Germany and I have never had a problem insuring it?
Most came back to the uk within 3 years anyway....
