Post by: Vamps on 19 June 2009, 18:03:58

If you're looking for something like that, then that is a no-brainer. Even if you only get 12 months out of it, you'll have had your money's worth. I'd definately go for it.

It's for a 17 year old to learn to drive in, so the 'New clutch' attracted my attention specifically..... ::) ::)

For that sort of money it has to be worth a shot --- and TBH it's not a bad car to learn in and won't ruin the learner's street cred !!

Well done that man. at least one parent that not only thinks of the safty from his child but that of others. unlike some who get a new golf or other with over 100hp. good on ya mate.
looks like its a bargin. parts cant be that much to get it repaired ( for Mot or next sale ) go for it mate.

Well it is now sitting on my drive, went to have a look ad got the seller to deliver it for me.
It is tidy, he did not know I was going and it started first time. Door check needs some attention, noisy, a small bit of rust, under the surface on leading edge of passenger door and a wheel trim missing.  He was wanting £600 and I got it for £400 delivered.

Just got to sort some insurance, under £600 with a named 17 year old learner, so not too bad.

I will get it insured tomorrow and get him out, nice quiet spot to learn clutch control and then on from there.........

Will give the car a good check up and make sure the handbrake is spot on. We have some good roads for starting on round here. He has had a scooter for a year and off road bike before that, so he has an understanding of the road and traffic.  :y
