My mate bought a series 1 a couple of weeks ago and he wanted to use it often, but after a few problems like a few knackered parts and a suposed small fire he has given up on it and bought another mint one which he doesnt have to spend time restoring so he has offered it me for around £800, ive not seen it yet and will update this thread later this week but is it worth the £800 he wants for it? thanks people

 

It would break for more than that even if it's rotten probably, unless its a right shed, so go for it

 

Depends on what it's like mate - if the kit, trim etc are OK then it'll break for sensible money but if it's trashed................

 

i was thinking about breaking it if it was fcuked!

 

£800 is cheap for a s1, hard to say if that particular one is worth that without seeing any pics

 

As long as everything in / on it is OK you'll be fine.

 

will get more details and pics this week!

 

we need pics & abit more info on here, but i would buy it, knock a few dollar of the ££

 

he paid around 2000 2 weeks ago!! lol either way i dont think it will be too bad if i break it

 

just been to see it and its obviously not mint,

needs new valves and possibly a turbo,
needs a new floor its got a hole in it,
small paint jobs like little scabs and a dent a few chips etc,
the seats aint too bad needs new bolster on passenger + tiny little tear,
cracked dash,

so now im stuck it obviously needs the work doing on it and im still intrested but its the time and effort but i do need a new project, im STUCK!

 

just buy it, breakers will give u that 4 it if u decide u cant b botherd in the end its a cheap car

 

Engine with fooked turbo - £150
Interior/Seats (need bolster) - £150
dash (with cracks) - £25 / (no cracks) - £50
Clocks (working) - £10
Wheels (not too curbed) - £150 / (mint) £250
Bodykit (top condition) - £150 / (shabby condition) £60
Spoiler (top condition) £75 / (shabby condition) - £20
Doors/tailgate (mint) £25 each / (shabby) £5 each

So thats (best case scenario) £910 / (worst case) £580
