Had a look at the car your interested in, looked alright. Did you make it there and what did you think?
Ahaha!
He did actually mention that to me, but I didn't expect it to be someone on the forum!
The car was alright, it needed a lot of smaller things doing as well as the radiator and exhaust problem solving. Combined with the price I think it's just too much money for the amount of work needed.
Lots of little things put me off, in addition to the interior work and other things that they had mentioned. Front/rear fascias had been resprayed at some point, wasn't quite the right colour. Two wheels were grey, two wheels were silver. Occasional loud harsh grinding noise when turning the wheel, no idea what that was. Only one window worked and it wasn't great (despite being told both were working "correctly"), one brake light and one tail light didn't work. Panel alignment was bad. It was fun to drive but it was pretty damn loud, don't know if we'd get away with that in the UK. Droopy doors. etcetc. Bit too much salesman vibe from the owner. It all adds up.
I'm in the process of buying another one at the moment, it's all coming together nicely so far
