think there may be some sellers that would let their car go for that.

not too sure of the condition,but you will get a 4x4 cos for that.

You will probably find one, but be prepared for some spending, or, you may end up with an expensive "garden ornament" as someone off here says.

But then again, you could spend 8K on one, and have just as many problems.

Personally, I would try and find a reasonable one for as little money as you can, and build it up with spare cash. That way you know what to expect.

yeah, I think i'll just take my time and see whats about! Its been over 2 years since I've owned an RS and I think its time to return to the fold!

I spent far to much on my RST so I need to make sure any Cos I buy stays under control!!!
