I've recently bought a 3.9 v8 auto and love it tbh, paid under £1k for it with 9months mot, chassis and boot floor is solid, but apart from the rear sunroof being siliconed in and a slight niggle with engaging reverse i think i got a bargin. few things didn't work initailly, but everything so far as been dead easy fixes.
obviously it handles nothing like a car, BUT you can chuck it into bends quicker than you think it it holds the road quite well for a vehicle of it's size imho. sounds ace aswell, does about 15mpg though, abusing it off road you can half that. but it's not a car i bought for long distance driving so don't really care tbh.
