on auto trader today...non forum user car..

exactly how i expected a 1 owner 59000 mile car to look and it was tidy in and out...( slight wear on bolster,no dings but had a bit of paintwork done ..)
Its had the cambelt done,2 new avons on the front,new front discs but it requires 2 rear tyres,2 rear discs desperatly, pads all round and of course a new turbo as it was smoking slightly on tickover after a few minutes...engine bay is reasonably clean, bar an oil leak under the throttle body area ...

drove very well,oil above 2 bar hot tickover on 10/40 and thermostat was fine,no squeeks or rattles...but i felt the price was way too high at 3800 despite the fact this would make a very good car with the above done and a clean ....
yellow is brighter than i expected and i m in no rush for a second coupe... but i cant help but feel this will end up a bargain should someone negotiate a more reasonable price..

That's at least £1500 worth of work before you start, making a total of £5,300

59k on the original turbo?

Not a lot is it?

£3800 with all above work above carried out sadly I'm afraid. Even then in todays economic climate that is probably pushing it IMO

I recognise that car - its now mine and I did not pay the asking price. You will pleased to learn the tyres, disks and pads, brake cables and pipes have been replaced.

The leaking gasket and other things will be changed in due course!

The turbo seems fine at the moment.

I have noticed similar yellow WxxNLD Coupes appear on autotrader over the last few weeks for a lot more - so I am happy!
