£880, for that money you can't gp wrong. Paint work looks good but expect a few issues. Hope you have a few quid to get a service as I don't ecpect the previous owner would have bothered. You really need to start reading up the FAQ section and How to do section. Good luck and welcome!

chipped = i hope all the pistons are ok. Remove the chip ASAP IMO. 'superchip', it will be one of a few chips, check which ideally. Bit worried 'i dunno what else has been done', hope this is just a cheap punt for you. Could be bargain, could be a waste of money. Hell if it lasts 6 months it will be fun.

The current seller is clearly a moron but it looks like the car has been enthusiast owned at some point. Good luck with it. Hope it does not cost you too much in bills over the next 6 months.

so, no history, no documented cam belt change, turbo change, clutch change. No red key, and its running poorly, well, thats about right for a £800 quid coupe
Its £800 for a reason, and that being its going to require about 1.5k to make good. The 20vt has hydraulic tappets, they can be noisy occasionally but I would suspect its been run with out oil, or something else is making the noise
To be fair, the bloke advertises it as running sweet, Its clearly not, and if it was me, I would turn the other direction and run...unless you want to spend that money........
spend the money, and have a look in for for sale section here, whats your budget if I can ask?

Mine could be up for sale if the price is right! But 800 it's worth a punt, as long as it looks and sound tip top should be ok! I can find it on eBay, have you got a link?

I paid 2k for mine over 3 years ago, with the above spec Has turned out to be okay though, although I did spend money and expected to spend money on it when I got it. 2K was cheap at the time

to be honest i'd still buy it, the condition looks really good and so what if it needs a few quid spending.
i still think it's a good price

I recognise this car my mate owned it 2 years ago and did the body work on it. I can tell you it had a clutch when he owned it and he fitted a gtec 1 chip to it. not sure what's been done done since or what it will be like, but it was a good car and was a quick one. I do know the drivers outer engine mount was shot and abit squeaky when he sold it. Ash

20vt doesn't suffer from noisy tappets unless they are empty (for example if the head has been rebuilt) What was it that Quentin Willson said about dodgy people and dogy cars - take a look at some of the other photos and see the other bits of tat lying around in the background There's a good chance that some fresh oil will save it, but there's also a good chance that the bottom will fall out of the engine in less than a month. However, it would probably break for parts and you'd get your money back, apart from the bonnet, which is now worth 3p

Although i would clarify wether they know the difference between a cracked manifold and tappets, funnier things have been known.
