You get what you pay for and the difference between cars like this and some cars valued higher is - take a good look under the bonnet of this car and spot all the parts that would need to be replaced and smartened up to be on par with higher priced cars - for example behind airbox, header tank and piping, cambelt cover, general condition, front grill cracked and OE mesh missing, sapphire dash, fag burn in rear seat, no pic of drivers seat, no mention of history so seeing car's like this is so important as pictures can always be deceiving

Ahhhhhh. Now I got you. Still, even if you spent a couple or a few grand on sorting out the bits it would still be a cheap 3 door imo. Paint work looks good although I am aware these are only pics and could be hiding all manner of shit!

That's the thing with old rs's you just can't get the replacement parts that easy, even if you do they always cost - so what starts out as a £8500 car ends up costing as much if not more than a higher priced 3dr
