If it's straight besides the mileage, What a bargain. My coop is at the same mileage and I expect at least another 40K miles before a rebuild. Coopless!

I does look in pretty good nick for the mileage though. Carlt what makes you think its be spanked at the front? (Just looking for pointers on spotting dogs )

Anonymous Unregistered A	Quote: I think the 98 ink black with 70k on was is a better deal I went to have a look at that one last week. The clock actually reads 102k. The guy said it had a new engine at 30k (his justification for advertising as 70k). Apparently it was "one of the ones that were recalled"? There was a 5" scrape on the drivers door, wires hanging out from under the dash, corroded callipers loads of small dents on the bonnet etc. It was, IMHO, a mess. This was the first FC that I have looked at, and to be honest has put me off the idea if that's as good as it gets for £3k!

Although, it doesn't look quite right. John

I'm real tempted to havbe a look at this car, purely out of curiosity When I was afetr my 2nd Coupe it is amazing how good some real dogs of cars can look in forecourt photos

In fact i could be tempted at that price.

Anonymous Unregistered A	I looked at loads of Coupes, travelled miles, wasted hours and got draged out of one dealer by my other half after threatening a punch on the nose after a 120 mile trip (240 around) to see a perfect, as new, will not find better coupe that was so shockingly bad it made me feel violent! Don't give up just because you saw one 'cheap' dog. You either pay a bit more money and find agood one or pay a little less and spend putting it right etc. Dealers will always want top dolla for thiers and offer you shite for yours < they suck.
