hmm right ok. is it auto or manual? my friend has one, went to manchester and back on one tank of fuel about 460 miles. thay dont light the world up on the speed factor but are quick enough as a 2nd car in my opnion, has it got full history?things to look out for are
-water pump and buypass 'O' rings leaking,
-shocks leak
-bottom ball joints wear
-strut bars perish
-tyre wear is common (a good geom will sort that)
and the most important is the cambelt and tensioner!!! if thay havnt been done THAY WILL NEED DOING as the bearing wears causing the belt to move forward and fray.
dont be put off buy my list its only the things i would look out for, the parts are cheap and easy to do your self if ya up to it.
add me on msn if you want to chat more about it
