Car buying...what are your thoughts on this......

[Gambit]

probably find its just had the log book replaced at sometime.

if its all clean i wouldnt worry about the number of owners.

so fill us in on the spec then? is it just a std j reg oak green 16v?

If it's as good as the man says then it's just what I've been after:
J plate, oak green, 3door valver, 93,000 miles, FSH, original bbs alloys, totally standard throughout.
Totally unmodified seem to be few and far between these days. Will definately be making some styling mods but nothing that can't be reversed at a later date.

This will be the 7th car I've viewed so fingers crossed.

sounds like THE classic mark 2 there Tobz.
good look on the viewing.
you have seen 6 so far? bloody hell!
is it a 91 or 92 j plate?

[tobz.]

Yep viewed 6 over the last 11 months and wouldn't even have a clue as to how many I've phoned about!
Personally I think it's the mk2 at its best (but that's just my view) and definately will be THE classic mk2 of the future.
It's a 91 j so unfortunately can't claim it to be the last of the mk2's but hey you can't have everything. I would have loved one on a k plate but that's just too much to ask for.

well there was k plate in the golf+/PVW a couple of months ago.
i thought
"tobz would be interested in that"
but it was Tornado red man

Heh heh it seems everybody is on the look out for a car for me.
There have been a few k platers while I've been looking but always 8v or the wrong colour. There was a k plate 8v in bright blue metallic on the autotrader site about 6months ago, the guy only wanted ?1500 for it, that was a real tempter. Still love me tornado red cars but I'm thinking of keeping this one for time and just couldn't face battling with the tornado pink syndrome in a few years.
