Who cares about owners mate!

People with any sense will buy a car on the conditin it's in at the time of viewing it!

So long as it's a good clean straight car then no probs as far as i'm concerned

Got the same steering wheel as i had in the black H plate but silver still wondering where the fcuk it came from..

Owners would put you off this? WTF come on be serious! owners mean fcuk all, my uncle "used to have" a saph & it went through 18 ppl when he got hold of it, only prob tho it was mint fcuk all wrong with it

As for the gauges thats my style, not just a poofy boost & oil temp hang on maybe even a... batt gauge in there to & thats it

man people shift cars when probs show up, its well known thing
people also shift em on to avoid paying for a service



low owners usually ( not always ) means they have been pretty well cared for, serviced and generally maintained with decent parts

Always thinking about getting another RS peeps!

I just think it's different and a nice change from the norm, forgot they did them in this colour tbh!

Would have Dom's but dont wanna spend the kind of money he's asking Just want something thats gonna be a cheap reliable daily toy

the sludge

thats cool mate,its good when ou can pick up a car which has 'been round the block' and its reliable

personally i would buy one with alot less owners, but for sure that dosent mean its going to be a better or more reliable car

could hae a 12 owner car with FSH and all mots and ŁŁŁŁŁ reciepts

or car with none of that and 4 owners

with RS's its risk either way

does it matter how many owners its had not many peaple want
to pay the runnig costs of a cossie you may find 40% may have
had 3 or 4 owner's in a year as thay cant afford to run them

So whats the threat..?

Miles..

or

Owners..



If the car had 200k miles with 3 owners that would put me off more than.. 12k miles with 20 owners..
