Golden rule on buying - Bodywork and plastic trims must be in tip top shape. Mechanicals come last.
Just cosmetic trims can cost as much as a 2nd hand engine.

Drivers seat bolsters ware but another easy fix.

Sagging headliner - Finding an original mint one for a 3 door is not easy these days unless you have £100+  :shocked:

Plenty of buying guides on here. Have a quick search  :smiley:

The difference is one has 4 doors, the other has 2 doors.

It all depends on your own taste which you'd prefer or which will be practical for you. And if you ain't bothered then that will open your choice into finding a better car
