Both look ok but not much info on owners and service history

[dave wilkinson]

as said check owners, service historys upto date and done on time. the one on pistonheads looks the better buy to me. also bear in mind the black ones does'nt mention anything about having air con :smt028

Hi. The Black one is mine and regarding Air Con, I've amended the advert on Ebay to reflect that it does have this very important option.

You're very welcome to inspect. It's a known car that I bought from another CSLregister member.

Incomplete service history for the sg one on ph.... Such a shame.

why do you say that?

[billyboysm3]

Thats a shame, just so we all know had it not been serviced every two years?

Claims FSH on the ad?

[JBird]

Sorry I wasn't very clear. Yep. more than 2 years between service.

Did you get the info on the service from the owner ? he tells me its got a FSH I've ask him to mail it to me.

To save clogging up the bord I said I would throw this here:

I just spotted it while browsing on my lunch break.

What are peoples opinions on it? Forgiving the replacement of the bumper and bonnet (which I would be a little wary about), what do you generally think fo the car?

To be honest, I am not looking for a sub 50k which will be garaged all its life, I plan to drive the car once I get it. Looking at the service history, alathough diff seals have been done, should I be worried that there's no mention of upgrades under recall and no mention of attention to the clutch?

Would be very interested to hear you opinions on this one!

Well spotted Brent, thanks a million for the info!

Nice to see it was a CSLR car too!

If it's now Cat D like the advert implies, then I wonder if 19 grand is cheap enough - the "lorry reversed into it" story may be true, but what about when you come to sell it and that story is now second/third hand, will a subsequent buyer be convinced ?

Shimmy would know how much it went for last year, I think you'd want to get it for at least 30% under that amount, and it may be a great buy at that price depending on what you're planning to do with it.
