It's a 1.8 20vt with 156000 on clock, what things should I look out for when I go to have a look? And will car be alright with this high mileage? Thanks

These are the three main things when your looking at over 100k.....I would only get it if it runs sweet and is cheap tbh

Basically you need to know 2 things:-

1:- do you have lots of spare cash around
2:- do you have lots of spare time and are handy with a toolkit

If you can answer yes to both then go for it

Rio,
That only applies to you because it seems to take you forever to do stuff
