Default was this a good buy? s2 rst



recently won this car on ebay, just wondering if anyone knows the car?

never got to view it, so taking a bit of a gamble! but i've pounded the seller with questions on the condition and it sounds to be in good nick!

cheers!

Looks ok, judging by the pics Ł1600 sounds about right as long as the underneith isnt rotten.

I'd assume/expect the drivers bolster to require attention and the bodywork to have bits which are scabby at best given it's a D-reg RST.


Cheers,

i'm expecting a little rust on her for that money, and plus with being a D reg they suffer the most!

Good luck with that, buying one of these unseen is a bit crazy especially for that sort of money! If you are lucky it will have been owned by someone who looked after it and kept on top of all the problems. But most likely not.

I bought one unseen, photos made it look superb, was described as being nice car turned out to be the biggest heap of sh1t I have ever seen due to how badly it's previous owners had botched everything.

Good luck with this one, it's not a lot of money, I personally think it was worth the gamble!
