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

This is my first enquiry ![rolleyes](/forum/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) 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?

Yes, from carlt for around £300 fitted (or eBay and then find a kind fccuker to fit if you are hopeless like me ![wink ;\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif) ) 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 ![rolleyes](/forum/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) (stop editing your posts ![tongue \:P](/forum/images/graemlins/default/tongue.gif) )

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?

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?

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 ![smile \:\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) With a budget of £3k, you'll find that some will need doing sooner or later ![wink ;\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)

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!

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

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 ![wink ;\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)
