Just seen this ad, and it seems to have been around for a while.

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/165513.htm

Any ideas, or anyone been to see it?

Location? Lack of leather? Colour? Who knows - have you enquired about it?

This is my first enquiry

But I have emailed the seller asking for more detail on history, and other work carried out.

I would like leather, but am I right in thinking the leather interiors can be bought and installed?

Yep, CarlT quite often has them. They are fairly easy to fit as well.

John

How much do they cost?

Yes, from carlt for around £300 fitted (or eBay and then find a kind fccuker to fit if you are hopeless like me )

I meant have you called the owner to enquire given that "it seems to have been around for a while - that is what people often do when they see a car advertised

(stop editing your posts )

There's a phone number call, not all people use the net every day.

Oh and please can you stop PM'ing me about cars, you wouldn't buy one of mine and i wouldn't sell you one so give it a break please.

Riiiiight!

Someone get out of the wrong side of bed this year!?

Would you sell me a leather interior, or don't I know enough about Coupes for that either?

If you ask me for a black leather trim yes, but you wouldnt would you it would go something like this.

Have you got leather, i want black leather, oh i want tan leather, oh i want black 6 speed leather, oh ill have plus leather, do you have LE leather, ok just standard black leather, any airbag recaros, any LE seats, how much are they all, do you have better standard leather, how much for tan with carpet, any grey trim, how about cream trim, Jimo's trim was nice can you get me that, how about a custom trim, any low mileage trim.

Ill have standard leather please in black, ive decided.

Following day, sod it ill stick with the cloth i have!!!

Give it a sodding break!

LOL

So stop pm'ing me, or ill get really fcccuked off, no more pm's understand.

Your not ready to buy your just wasting people's time, driving cars your not remotely interested in. Like going to see Damiens, 48hrs ago you didnt want an N/a you drove one, too slow, so why waste his time.

Not that it's got anything to do with you, but Damien has read the same posts as you, and knows what I thought of that car.

He says he is willing for me to see his car despite this.

Why do you spend you time answering my public posts and not my PM's?

Why the fcccuk do i want to reply to your stupid pm's.

The fcccuk do you want to reply to my stupid forum posts?

To make sure you take note of posts like the following.

Understood.

Why didn't you buy one of carl's Barry?,after all he knows these cars inside and out

He wouldn't sell you a wrong one.

Cheers

Back to the original topic.

I just spoke to Kevin (the owner of the Coupe) He is going to email me with more details about the work the car has had done and when (Date + Mileage).

Seems too cheap to be any good though, right?

Probably the same reason he wont buy yours, neither of us accept chocolate buttons as payment.

If i was in your position,i think i would pass on that particular one.

Also ask him,if the clutch has been done?,if not budget 450-500 squids on top of purchase price.

No, seems about right for that age, mileage, condition and with no leather...maybe he just needs a quickish sale.

I doubt there is a coupe on the planet that is perfect, both mechanically and cosmetically...you'll need to accept that money will pass through your hands to keep a coupe on the road at the standard you will probably expect...need to budget a minimum of £500 per year IMO. All of the big jobs, belts, clutch, manifold, turbo each cost that amount to sort With a budget of £3k, you'll find that some will need doing sooner or later

Hey, steady on Carl, I've got the money.

You all have to bare in mind that I hadn't even sat in a Coupe until last Saturday, so I had no idea what I was looking for. So I have been trying to get as much info about the various cars available, unfortunately I seem to have annoyed some of the more senior forum members in the process.

See my sig, for the full explanation!

Is that because you would like me to buy yours

Don't worry, by the sounds of it, it will go on Friday.

If you were genuinely after one for starters you would know your budget, no one serious considers 50k le's at 6.5k and shiiters at 2k do they? You would know what you want to spend.

Your criteria is:
A coupe
Any colour
Any spec
Any model
Under 80k today
Upto 120k yesterday
Under 80k tomorrow.
Any Price, 2k-7k

You've got issues.

Please stop responding to this thread.

It doesn't matter if it has not been done, as it may not need doing. As I mentioned, the more complicated replacements on a 20vt especially are costly...n/a are cheaper to maintain (no turbo, manifolds do not tend to go, wishbones seem to last longer, tyres are £60 fitted rathat than £80 odd and last longer). However, things like brakes, belts, clutches etc still need doing and cost more than on a Fiesta

Thanks Vickers.

Why aren't all longer standing forum members as nice as you?

It's because I'm not a bloke

LOL we don't all bite!!!!
