Default Looking to buy myself a Sapphire Cossworth

Hi all

Im going to be selling my car soon and have my heart set on a Sapphire Cosworth, i would love to get a 2wd but am very new to the cars.

Can anyone tell me what to look out for when buying one, good and bad?!?

I assume as most of them have hit or close to 100k on the clock that a rebuilt one would be preferable, but is there anything else which i should look out for?!?

Ive actually just got back from Power Engineering with a mate who took his S1 RS Turbo there, was very impressed by them i must say, as i live in Guernsey it is very hard to get the full info etc on the car so i need all the help i can get.

Many Thanx

check out this link mate, and take a copy with you when viewing. It has 2 advantages 1, u know your not buying a 1.6L cosworth lookalike, and 2, the owner knows your serious and not just a tyre kicker!
