Default Been away and coming back - advice needed.

Looking for some info folks. I sold my 4x4 Saph about 5 years ago and have regretted it ever since. I'm now planning to buy another for around the £4500 to £5000 mark - I've seen quite a few advertised in this bracket. Will they be in decent nick at this price? Not looking for a concours car as I'll be using it every day.

What I need to know is how difficult it is to get spares etc. these days? Are the prices crazy? If something goes wrong will I be waiting months to track down the bits to fix it?

I'm willing to put up with most of that anyway, just to get a Cossie back, but forewarned is forearmed. Or something like that...

Cheers in advance!

I have seen a Few stunning 4x4's going for £5k in the last 4-5months. Parts are not that hard to get tbh, just a case of knowing who to ring. I use Matt Lewis for 90% of my bits and they are with me inside 2-3 days.

There are a few on th auto trader mate. The bits are ok to get hold off too. Ive used PJ motorsport a few times for my bits like spark plug leads n dizzy car and water temp sensor. Good look in finding a good one mate.

As above mate parts can be had very easily, paul from north yorks and other breakers usually have most parts, and as nash said matt lewis does most new parts for servising ect


Put a couple of quid to your kitty and buy mine, it needs nothing
