Title: Thoughts please
Post by: tinkerman on 20 January 2012, 16:54:58
 Your thoughts on this please, be it good bad or other ;)
 I cant find an elite estate in this sort of condition, though it`s only a cdx it has a good spec but most of all the condition seems to be rather fine. Is it over priced and are there any issues i need to look for or ask about?

Looks ok mate , if it was me i wouldnt pay more than £600 for it and would expect a full MOT ...decent service history but barter him down as you never know ....i got £300 off mine a few months back . If you can take it for a spin and make sure its fully warmed up , then give it the mig check over  :y :y :y

im keen on a manual but an auto would do just as well, would be second choice. ;) The condition is the most important thing to me

I rather like the preface over the face lift, again age isnt an issue, rather condition is :)

Fair play! Looks perfect for you then. Although I'd want to check the condition thoroughly in person with a fine toothed comb  :y

As said, reckon you should offer him £600.....................................then i can offer him £625  ;D ;D

Looks like a decent enough car fella, if i was on the lookout I'd certainly have a look :y I'm a bit closer than you, would you like me to have a look for you ::) ::) ;D

I'd personally ask for close ups of the wheel arches, prone rust spots before you drive all thast way :)

Personally I wouldn't pay that for an R reg, I suppose it depends how desperate you are for a car.

Looks tidy, wheel arches look ok. Not an auto though. (personal opinion!) If mileage is geniune then its just had its cambelt done!.   :)  You really need to see it tho' and drive it to be sure.  ???
