Default fiesta turbo buying?

Hey people...

I have been away from the rs scene for a bit. Used to have a s2 bout 6 months ago and had that for two years and loved.

Im thinking of now getting a frst as im getting bored of the new purchase and really need rs power again..

Im not that clued up on the fezzy's, is there anything I need to know before buying one and obvious look out points and problems

Cheers for the help

they usually rot around the petrol cap so thats a good place to start. also look for rot on the sills, by the a-pillars and on the boot. only other prob ive ever had is overheating, so just check it doesnt overheat at idle, and also on a run

As Oranaco said check for rust and be prepared for being lied to by previous owners saying how mint the car is stick with it tho there are some great examples out there

Check the buying guide on fiestaturbo.com for some useful tips
