Spike3.0 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) Sounds ok for the money, my mate has one the same age/model and its still going well after 200,000 miles ! They can be a handfull in the wet...all good fun. Just dont get the model with a blue dash...u g l y... Only things i know of for faults is the usual engine probs + emisions, and the bodywork does really suffer for rust around the arches and floor pan. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/702767.htm Cheap (a bit far) but you get the idea.

Todd Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 £800 for a g-limited with no tax or mot that needs £300 worth of work!!! Walk away, you can pick up decent ones for that money that don't need work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HERBIE Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 i know what your sayin todd.im in ireland though and for me to get a cheap car home outa england will cost minimum 250 maybe 300 quid,thats why i thought it wasnt a bad option considering the condition and its only 2miles from me.would love a turbo but stuck with 1500 max to play with at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movistar Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I always thought cars without an mot were only worth scrap value.... so £50-£100 i would say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
