[Reasty]

I know this won't be easy but check behind the back numberplate as it rusts like a motherf***er behind here,specially if it's screwed on,when I changed the plates on mine I was horrified.

The fact he has only had it 2 weeks would be reason enough for me to give it a miss, maybe he has found out something.

i agree with wayne, hmmm not cheap either!

some of these boys picked them up for £1000 or under

"Look at pics of dials showing oil temp and water temp (94c)" and this proves that he took the picture when the car was at that temperature not that it acctually runs at that temperature  It cracks me up when people do things like this when selling cars.

An MOT is £40ish....

If its worth selling, I would have thought it was worth the price of getting an MOT.

Doesnt sound like the buyer wants to spend anything on it to potentially sell it, which sounds a bit odd.

Tow bar

Sounds pretty decent to me although like mentioned, it's worth giving a bloody good once over before handing over any cash...but then that should be standard issue when buying any car anyway. Good luck.

The guy is registered as a Businesss seller which sugests he is a trader,if you look at his feedback he has sold a car through ebay before so I would think he has had it in part ex or maybe bought it to earn a profit on the car.Other than that the car looks a nice example right colour 3 door aswell which is more sought after and matching black leather.Its a 1997 so its the OBD2 engine that has got the better lasting chains fitted.Its a 12 year old car so its not going to be brand new so it will most likely need some bits doing to it.Main things really listen for the chain rattle as others have quoted head gasket (let the car tick over and wait for fans to kick in)check the floor of the car as usually you get a lot of sill damage from pratts jacking it on the sill.Check the service history last service and when its due etc but I dont think thats a bad price if he wasnt that far up north i think it would sell that pretty quick round my way,hope it turns out a good car for ya if you go look at it....
