Looks in nice condition to me, with a months warranty, what's considered to be a low mileage Coupe these days and FSH, I think it looks like a good buy You could probably get it for £1300, drive it for a few months while you save up for a cambelt and service. So, as long as everything else was ok with the car, it looks like you'd get what looks a nice example for the price. Worth going for a look at in my opinion

I agree with T, just look for usual stuff like oil pressure etc etc as per the buyers guide.....if it was the right time for me i'd consider that one for sure.......

Dazvr6 do you have a pic of the car? i am in stafford atm so not too far.
I did read somewhere that some specialists can do belt without taking the engine out? I remember taking mine to a specialist in birmingham at the time still open now but sure it had to be lifted out there.

That was probably Motormech that you took the car to and they are still there. Contact details Here. It is now normal to do the belts without taking the engine out.

We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
