No disrespect at all but in my opinion your car as well as most 3drs are overpriced in my view, I know it's a bit of a touchy subject and I'm sure it's a nice car but 18k for a car that doesn't have an uprated diff and box, no coilovers, no big brake conversions, etc is just too much money.
I know a lot of people see it differently and 3drs can be an investment but I want a car to drive and use as it's intended to be...
Oh and your the other end of the country for me!

Cheers Paul

Ive seen that 3dr on ebay. What wheels are they. They look similar to RS200 wheels or the mk3 escort touring cars.
