Full stainless steel exaust system,

CLEAN CAR, GREAT EXAMPLE, BODY WORK IS EXCELLENT AS IS INTERIOR AND ENGINE, ORIGINAL STANDARD CAR. Rarely used and kept in garage most times.

I have a price from him, and have 2 weeks to decide as the cars not advertised anywhere and he's in no rush to sell it, but seen as ive harrased him so much hes kinda given in - result!

Just wanna see what kind of money people would pay for this, bear in mind im only 18 next month and will b paying £1800 insurance, plus dump valve, induction kit, private plate, lowering springs, 6x9s ON TOP OF THE CAR, everyone is telling me there shit, i'll regret it, its all gonna go to fuck when I blow it up, waste of money on a teenage escort BUT ive wantd one since I was 7 years old, been driving 8 months and have the cash. I know I'll be happy so why the hell not!?

 

3k

 

Loving the wheels Tony

 

yeah about 3000 maybe 3200, just have a good look at engine as mine
had done 86k and needed rebuild.

 

Is that RS7s u got? Im into my wheels just now

One of my mates got a grey one his has about 137k on the clock and runs sound enough, sounds genuine enough though. My dad will have it all checked before I decide or not, and hes been a car dealer for 27 years so its all good !

 

All depends on how keen you are on it!

Sounds like a good car, you say you have always liked S2's finding a decent 1 in Scotland is getting harder, assuming everything is good engine wise and the seller aint to OTT on the asking price id go for it!

Best of luck

 

1 go buy it!
2 dont ruin it with a dump valve!
3 dont fit 6x9's on top of the car you wont hear them!
4 fit the above mentioned on the rear shelf!
5 dont worrie about the induction kit!
6 buy the car,and move slowly,but please dont fit a dump valve!

 

Thing is it would be a waste for me to have like a 4k minter because it will be my everyday car, i'll look after it and cherish it but everyday use will take its toll im sure. This one is actually £2500 which is reasonable I think!

 

OK why not a dump valve! Come on I need the bling factor!

Also how do i get a pic on my avatar? I tried but my piccy was too big!

 

Sounds a good price, who owns it at the moment? Is it a well known car in Aberdeen? Assuming its from there?

 

Its from a small town out the road, not very well known but those who know it know it! The guys not into cruising and offshore pretty much all the time!

 

Have you asked any of the local RS guys about the car, I know they all tend to know the cars historys by the last 3 digits on the REG. Maybee 1 of them will go have a look at it with ya if your needing an independant view on how good it is value for money.

 

I trust my dad, but thanks loads anyway!

 

yeah, not a very good picture in mi sig,
here you go

 

STUNNING ! Looks nearly as hot as me.....

 

Your not wrong either!!

 

No way thats you!

 

good price, but if your using it as an everyday car then it is going to deteriate.

 

wow
stunner

 

well if thats you, im def taking u for a spin when i get back

 

whats the reg of the car? if its fae aberdeen ill prob know it,

 

And into rs,s good girl

 

i run my s1 to work every day, mines worth around 4-5k

keep the car garaged,get a good alarm, get a disc lock, get a second car if u can afford it and keep the rs for summer and drive a snotter during the winter.

your insurance is pretty steep btw another s2 will come along at some point im sure thought about getting your no claims down befor u buy one

dont believe a word the sellers telling u about the car, get someone whos owned one befor or into the rs scene in general. rust is the biggest problem on these cars. get it hpi'ed as well.

 

Well have a look at her on Faceparty.

I certainly would!!!

you right would......

 

Just make sure none of the girls in the muppet room see these pics or their claws will be out!!

 

 

DazC: you KNOW it

Julia: Don't worry about what people tell you about buying the car, get it if you want, because in the end if you are happy with if then who gives a s*** what other people thinks
A good advice would be to get the car to a (well known) tuner and get it checked out.

 

not my facepary Thats OLD really should get round to changing that!

Cheers for the compliments guys, much appreciated. My looks are bottom priority right now car is first, in fact id rather have a nice Rs turbo over any guy

Went to look at a grey one this afternoon it was £1800 F reg, 118k (not great) clean enough shell, one small bubble on the boot, 17"s, tinted windows and lowered a wee bit, looked quite Pimp really! But my dad being a car dealer bid him like £1200, cos to be fair it wasnt what I wanted although it wud have been cool, it needed a timing belt too, but obviously the guy wouldnt drop - he said his car was worth every penny and my dad should stop wasting time and that he had offended him, my dad said he'd nver get that kind of money for it, and I was really embarresed in the end

 

PMSL!! Oh well. Bet you nearly dropped dead!!

 

Half expected really, my dads really arrogant and offensive when it comes to pricing cars. He owns his own garage and drives an aston martin so he wasnt impressed with the bubble on the boot at all, but he still respects the fact I am in love with Rs turbos and to b honest its his own fault because he had a 91 red one when I was about 5 with 7,000 on the clock, the smell inside that car will I will never forget....mmmmm

 

tbh the bubble sounds like trouble from the start
Dads can be great when buying cars.. they often see all the negative things while you will see all the good things.

 

Sounds like a nice one.
It's about as late a one as you'll find at any rate.
Deffo check it for rust, there's probably some on it somewhere.
So if you can't find any, snap it up, especially for that dough.

I paid £8500 for mine five years ago, but mine was low mileage, mint, black, one owner with 6-7k worth of recent engine build/install and 2.5k worth of brand new brake upgrades, so sort of a bargain - sort of

I hardly ever use the old girl, but she still seems to be on a determined mission to deteriorate -

she's currently sat locked in the garage looking very sorry for herself with a flat tyre, a smashed headlight and a rust bubble in (of all places) the gap between the bottom of the O.S. quarter glass rubber and the top of the quarter panel -

So - even the best ones rust (deep joy, window out, interior out, panel cut welded and painted/blended, and then put it all back together ) So prepare yourself, you will probably have to spend time, effort and money keeping her right.

Should be worth it though, and if that white one is solid and honest, clean inside and drives right, you should be onto a good thing.

I knew mine since it was a toddler - less than 3 years old and standard apart from a crap chip and watched it develop into an animal over an 8 year period and when it was just right, I bought it - and i've been regretting it ever since

You'll see if you get one - it's a sort of a love hate relationship

In my humble opinion, don't put 6 x 9s in the shelf unless it's already got holes that need filling - if your back window doesn't get put through by some piece of sh*t stealing your nice new speakers, the shelf will sag, and you'd be amazed at what will devalue a car -
your better off with some nice custom fit units and a base box in the boot - you can take it out then when you want.
And anyway nobody need know that you've got anything worth nicking in the car, coz it won't be visible.

Oh, and IMHO, don't fit a dump valve unless you :-

A) Want your car to run like a bag of sh*t.
B) Want your car to sound silly
C) Want people to laugh at you - apart from 15/17 year old chavs/neds who will
look on in awe struck wonder.

Or
D) Have enormous horsepower and the car requires one and is set up to use one.

Anyway, that's enough waffle from me.
Hope it's a minter and that you get it for the right price.

 

that wasnt fair

 

another aberdonian

whaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

watch out what car you buy get it independantly inspected it may cost £100 but well worth it. i have seen a few s2 been thrashed about the town and bouly cruising. i went down to devon to get my rs as all the s1's up here were either death traps of over priced.

best of luck with the hunt.

Life is never fair!

It's true though. Some of the girls in there get a little bit bitchy when pictures appear. Understandably if there is a sudden influx of attention seekers they get riddiculed but sometimes it goes a little far imo.

 

dump valves are not bling! they ruin the drive and they make you sound like a bus/girl racer with a punto trying to make yaself seem like ya goin faster than you really are!

if you fit a big cone filter up ya boost you will get turkey gobble chatter! much better! ..lol....no honestly chatter is the way forward!

and if me ole man had an aston id just jump on his insureance and drive that!

 

Gotta agree with the shat dump valves....

 

dump valve in the bin

 

Believe me i'd love to. But he wouldnt let me loose with it - he has a traders policy so i CAN drive it if hes in the car, it depresses me cos il prob never be able to afford one
