tbh i think it seems geuine enough, only way to tell is to look through buyers guide on here and get some key points then go have a look at it buddy. . . .

Certainly looks it, do an RAC hpi check and have a look especially if local. Hard to tell from a couple of photos \:\)

Been reading the guides for a while now and going to take a gander later.

Manifold, date and mileage of belt change, warped discs, radiator, exhaust and everything electrical!!

It looks ok, personally it wouldn't be my choice of colour combination. \:\)

It also looks like something odd has been going on with the exhaust at the back as it seems to stick out a bit far.

That might be just the angle of the photo though.

It really is impossible to say without looking...during my year long search for a coupe I read some glowing descriptions from sellers. Quotes like "Must be the best in country" and the like, only to find the biggest heaps of sh*t when I went to inspect them.

Take your time and dont get seduced...even the tattiest coop knows how to flirt with you as a buyer!!!!

Yes, I know I spotted it at the weekend - it has a surprisingly high number of bids in comparison to all the other Coupe's too.

Providing it has evidence of recent maintenance and is in good nick I think its a good buy at that price. ;\)

Here goes......

Cambelt done at 55k - unspecified date, clutch changed by a friend in the trade, new exhaust, new brakes, unspecified tyres "with plenty left", original turbo, original rad, 7 months MoT, Tax out end Aug, sce history by "local garages" - I decided to give it a miss even though it was offered at £1650 as I felt the potential for it costing a mint to get upto standard was there. Owner seemed desparate to sell, which was a little worrying.

I'd arther pay more and get one fully documented.

I think you did the right thing. You should be able to get a well sorted car for that amount, as prices are a bit down at the moment.
I am pretty sure that needed a cambelt in 6,000 miles as well. After the first change it is recommended to change the belt every 36,000 miles.

All coupe have the potential to cost money though. I have spent £1500 on mine getting it up to scratch, but I can still think of other things that need to be done to make it a minter.

Cheers!

You confirmed what I already thought.

It'll be interesting if it comes up for sale again soon, which I think it will.
