I went to see this last week and it is ok, but not worth 9k, the mileage is not 52k as stated in the advert, it has had quite a bit of paint and hasn't been done very well. The drivers side wing has been changed for a non genuine one which doesnt line up near the A post.
The seats were saggy and the paint was pealing in a few places where it hadn't been preped properly
Drivers rear quarter panel had a bit of filler in it as well, and around the body you could still see the sand paper marks where it was rubbed down.

For 9k I would like expect to see a better example

What do you think?

The one on eBay looks a tidy example, TSW Hocks suit the Sierra really well IMO.

What do you think?
Agreed, the car is ok. It is what it is really.
Totally standard (even exhaust).
The guy I spoke to was quite honest about it.
Said had a front wing and paintwork etc. Some paintwork isnt a great match in some light.
Engine sounds ok, no smoke etc, usual engine noise but not much.
Interior is ok, needs the foam on drivers bolster, but cloth is ok.
Apparantly not a lot of history with it.
Car not been cleaned to show, you see it as it is which I thought was good.
Overall not a bad car, albeit a bit "tired", but with a bit of work could be a nice example.
Everything is there, just as it should be.
IMO its a 8K car, and would have t myself at that price.
(3 Door or a Rouse for me)

You can clearly see from the pics that the first car has seen some action down the drivers side.
