Toothy Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Welcome mate. I actually went and saw this car in the flesh, before xmas. Along with a few others they had. When I saw the car, the front right headlight was smashed and the bumper had some damage too!! I'm not sure if you are aware of this?? I was really put off by the salesmen here, they seemed nice to start with. But really got the hump when I didnt want to do a deal there and then! I'd only came to see what they had. The other cars they had all seemed tatty. Flat tyres, dead batteries, missing gas struts and no fuel in them. Like they had been sat there a while. To top it off the car I went to see wasnt even for sale still. I found out that they keep cars they have sold on their website to attract more business. Quote
Gonzo88 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 Yeah headlight was first thing I noticed but it's having a new one fitted amongst other bits I picked up. All the tyres on it had at least 6mm tread and the car started up first time. I'm waiting for it to get an MOT and have these things done to it then I'll be test driving it. Is there anything I should listen out for on a test drive? Quote
Toothy Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I'm no expert, so someone else might want to chip in here... Engines seem pretty bullet proof, all the ones I tested all seemed smooth and quiet. Listen for any unusual gearbox whines or noises. When reversing or pulling off, listen for the rear shafts clunking, if they do they may need replacing. Not sure there is much else to listen for... Quote
Gonzo88 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks for all the welcomes... Anyone located round Lincolnshire? Quote
WhackyWill Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Welcome . Looks a top car. Enjoy it. :) Quote
Gonzo88 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 Picking it up this Saturday majorly excited. Feel like a kid at Xmas! Oh wait I am still a kid. I think... Quote
