#1: Do i buy or not? Author: acotton21, Location: NottsPosted: Mon May 16, 2011 8:29 am ---- Here
Mate of mine wants a cheap car untill he passes his test so he can fix up a little.
We've seen this one...
What do you think and do you think it would be expensive to sort out?
Thanks Ant
#2: Re: Do i buy or not? Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Mon May 16, 2011 8:33 am ---- not bad for the price.
No idea how much it would cost to sort out though.
#3: Re: Do i buy or not? Author: acotton21, Location: NottsPosted: Mon May 16, 2011 8:34 am ---- how much is it to sort a head gasket out?
#4: Re: Do i buy or not? Author: devman, Location: Hoddesdon, HertsPosted: Mon May 16, 2011 8:37 am ---- Seems an odd diagnosis to me, without seeing it anyway. If it is the head gasket probably about £350 unless you did it yourself.

#6: Re: Do i buy or not? Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Mon May 16, 2011 8:38 am ---- Most places would want to do the water pump etc at the same time, so could get about £500
#7: Re: Do i buy or not? Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Mon May 16, 2011 8:39 am ---- The gasket kit is about £50, new bolts are about £10, torque wrench is £20, so £80 to change the head gasket.
Unless you wanted to do the cambelt as well... which is about £50
#8: Re: Do i buy or not? Author: Matt, Posted: Mon May 16, 2011 8:41 am ---- More than that particular car is worth.
Look elsewhere.
#9: Re: Do i buy or not? Author: Danny., Location: PeterboroughPosted: Mon May 16, 2011 8:41 am ---- When mine went i got quoted £400 So i sold it for that amount....
I wouldnt want to risk it my self incase the heads need skimming.

This. Not exactly spoilt for choice and buying a car that you know is knackered is always risky unless a) you're sure how much it's going to cost or b) you have a lot of technical knowledge/expertise/tools to do it yourself.

#12: Re: Do i buy or not? Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Mon May 16, 2011 8:44 am ---- nice little buy, that cheap = problems though imo
#13: Re: Do i buy or not? Author: Danny., Location: PeterboroughPosted: Mon May 16, 2011 8:44 am ---- If you can afford it
