Mikey Thompson Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm going down the route of part cash part finance and its a real pain in the a**e 7k budget for a coupe, it's got to be no older than 10 years old and less than 100k miles. There's only 1 out there and I'm not impressed Seriously thinking about looking out for something else Where the hell are you looking? Mines on an '04 plate, GT Spec, 38k miles and only thing wrong was the common fault with the Rays having slight bubbling on them.

Oggieteepo Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Hi, Yeah I paid 5k for mine with MOT and service history. It needs a clutch (high but not slipping) new tyres, and a full self service which will make up that grand*. But at least I know it's done. Edit: *and a bit :-) Edited April 20, 2015 by Oggieteepo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Just put my zed up for sale which might interest you... have a look at the link in my signature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Spend as much as you can afford on the initial purchase. Buy cheap and you may find you are spending much more than 5k to get it right unless you are lucky. Lots of good advice on buying cars on here. Be patient. There are a few nasty examples around..

docwra Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Buy cheap and you may find you are spending much more than 5k to get it right unless you are lucky Why? This isnt some highly strung Italian thoroughbred or an early 90's hot hatch, its an unstressed, well made and apparently fairly rustproof car, I dont think theres much thats not blindingly obvious you could wrong on. Look at the standard faults, its banana arms, droplinks and clicking axles (and still no-one has been able to tell me why this is a problem), none of which is more than a couple of hundred quid to fix. If its got some service history, doesnt sound like a percussion instrument when driving and doesnt blow smoke then its unlikely theres anything lurking to catch out unsuspecting buyers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oggieteepo Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) It helps if you're quite mechanically minded. In my opinion when your looking for cars around this value the depreciation has happened. Save yourself a considerable amount by learning how to do servicing and annual consumables yourself. *of which you are already in the right place for Edited April 28, 2015 by Oggieteepo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
