there has been a blue 180 that sits round the corner from me and its not moved in about 5 year so i went to his door to see if its for sale and it is Very Happy

its an 03 plate with 57k on the clocks its not been mot'd in 3 years but since its last MOT its done no more than 10 miles and passed with 2 advisorys for front 2 brake discs. the car is solid axle is good engine bay is clean and so is the bodywork and inside was immaculate everything works aslo started 1st time after 2 years. lowest he was going is £600 what do you guys think? good buy? might try bring him down a little more

Not a bad price at all. Any history of the belt & pump ever been done? If not you can add that cost on top and use it to knock him down a little.

Inflate a tyre and listen to any shudder/knock sounds from cambelt area when engine is cold on a cold morning. My one does it, I'll have to check pulley bearings at some point.. Cambelt should be done every ~50k, and this one is only 57 in total.. Interesting one! So he tried to sell her after the last MOT, but no-one bought?

Will ask about the belt and yep those lights will be straight into the bin. Nope he's never tried to sell it before I'm the only one that knows it's for sale got till the end of the month to buy it then he's going to advertise it I think. Think I'm for it as a little project and tidy it up and have it on the road some point next year and by then hopefully the insurance won't be as expensive

The n/s/f tyre is probably wrecked .. expect to replace that (and maybe one or more of the others!). Max life of a tyre is about 6 years .. and those low profiles crack in the walls (usually behind the wheel!)

if you can get that wheel pumped up check it moves ok as if its been sitting for that long you may find all the brakes are sized up also check the clutch is working properly

Wow... jealous!! Just the seats and bare wheels would fetch 600£ over here in the Netherlands! I'd check all rubber components, brakes (might want changing, rust level on discs and fluid) and expect a/c to need some work too... But I'd go for it

looks like im going to have it by next week got a price of £250 to do the belt and someone crashed into the back of me and its dented in my back quarter panel in, been to two different coach works and both said the insurance will write it off so the person that hit me is buying my car off me for 800 to save there insurance as they've only been driving 2 months so sounded fair enough as i was planning on selling it anyway. Will have a progress thread once i buy it Very Happy

Going up to double check it all tonight before giving him a deposit. Is there anything that hasn't been mentioned thats worth looking out for? going to put the diagnostics onto it aswell and give it a good look over, Hoping everything is okay because im getting excited but im not looking forward to the insurance haha
