To be fair they were never 'bad' cars and were very well specced but the ever present mechanical issues  are all they will be remembered for and is why they are so cheap.

I like it mate. Ive found the 'reliability/mechanical issues' to be nothing but a myth in my experience.

Maybe some are good and some are bad?!

I paid £400 for mine, £300 to get the headgasket uprated and the cambelt changed and thats it. Ive had it for around a year now and done 12K trouble free miles.

Yours looked good anyway mate, get another!!  :evil:
