if its almost perfect and the milage is that low...i would say your on the verge of being laffed off!

coupld of things to check...like the battery trey! these are a bitch to sort! and a tad expensive! also check the tyres for un even wear! ,and of corse its a 14yr old car so check everywhere for rust! inner arches ,sills and such like.....


have you heard the car running? start it up from cold and see if you can hear any knocking and see if there any smoke...which might indicate valve stem seals! if you can drive the car from from a few seconds after ya started it up and drive it till its warm....give it a boot full and see if there any smoke after the turbo has boosted!

other than that! its normal things like leccy windows work....battery light dont come on when u have the blowers on,windows working,wipers on and and lights on!

happy buying!



ps....i wish i had this forum when i brought my car! cus i would not have brought it!
