My sister is looking to buy one soon and one has come up really cheap and offered a good amount for her Punto in px, so is there anything i should look out for when i go and see it for her? And is the milage an issue?

Thanks.

 

I wouldent be bothered about 97k on any car, how its been looked after makes a much bigger difference than just miles IMO

 

Yeah i know i just didnt know if there was anything significant that might need replacing or something at those miles thats all...

 

I got the wife an 08 plate fiesta st last year with 104k on it. It's never missed a beat. Still drives well,looks good,no rattles,everything does as it should. If its been looked after miles make no difference! Just flew through its mot last week without even an advisory.

Go for it.

 

Synchromesh in the gearbox is the only thing to look out for

 

I have heard that before i think... Any idea when the chain needs to be replaced?

 

Not sure,my Mondeo st was 120k. I'll be looking to do the fiesta by 110 I'd think

 

it could have 197k on and i would still buy it

 

Get it bought. Mileage on new modern engines.is nothing these days.

 

See if it's had lower arms replaced - some go through them like sweets.
