Rust is the main factor on them.

I dont wish to be rude but what sort of condition do you think a car for Ł120 will be? I mean any seller knows roughly what price their cars worth, and if they only value the car at Ł120 it isnt going to be too good is it.

I bet its fucked for that money, it will end up costing you more to put things right than it would to buy a half decent one for 10 times the money this is for sale.

Just my thoughts on it, buy a decent one for a decent price in the 1st place and save yourself ALOT of hassle and money in the long run

from another recent post on them. Personally i'd expect it to be rusty everywhere for that money.
