alright cheers for the advice, i'll have a think about it, I've just had my first cosworth (owned for 3 months!) rear ended and want to get in another, unfortunately this one was the only one i could find in my price range and not in Scotland or Ireland.
If I can get insured on it and get it checked for chassis damage, is it still worth looking at, it's this car:

It drives really well (0.8 psi boost and pretty much as fast as my old one running on 21psi with stage 3 upgrade). It also has an escort cosworth engine in, I'm assuming that's a good thing??
