Anyone got any thoughts on this Plus for sale on Fleabay? Linky I thought that it generally looked OK, but the amount of rust at the front of the engine bay seemed quite bad. Is that normal for a higher mileage vehicle?

They are prone to rusting in that area, but that's the worst I've seen If you look at the bonnet, above where that slam panel is, that looks marked on the photos too? Maybe the car is parked in an area where the rain, etc keeps getting to it? As you've said, the rest of it looks ok at a quick glance

At the risk of you telling me to p*ss off with my opinion ... Surely these other fleabays are slightly safer bets , unless you want blue or a plus ? this ones got half the mileage and poss' half the price, also he might swop - Grey Ebay Coupe or theres an silver/grey LE for 3K ebay LE
