Looks clean enough. Not sure about the wheels though and, dare I say it - it's a bit pricey ....

Look for a good SH and hopefully the head's been done recently too.

[petet16]

Looks pretty good, is it me or does the pass side front door look a different shade of Blue.

[magpie67]

I emailed the dealer and the reply i got was;

"Hi, 4 stamps in the book, the last at 45396 miles was a main service the cam belt was done at this service, its now due a service"

Not sure about the wheels myself, but the missus likes 'em !!!!

It does have a 180 kit though :blush:

[peterzs]

Car looks like its been cared for by past owners, might be worth looking to see if he will guarantee the engine.

Was speaking to a guy down the road with an 05 1.8 ZS, said his engine went but his was covered and repaired for free.

Price is always a starting point, take a few printoff's from some cheaper ones from Autotrader and depending how good business was last week you might be surprised and get a low offer accepted.

:yes::yes::yes:

I've just run the reg through a site I use for any cars that take my interest www.autocheck.co.uk there seems to be a mileage discrepancy, it was showing 106,000 in 2006 it could be an error, but worth making sure before any money changes hands

Just bookmarked it could be useful, can you check mileage from old mot's that have been issued.

Don't know where they were stored, DVLA, or VOSA but I'm sure I saw in another ad that they confirmed mileage that way.

:yes::yes::yes:

[petet16]

Yes, you can check mot history on one of the .gov.uk sites.

The mileage difference may be a legitimate mistake, somebody could have meant to put down 10,600 miles and DVLA entered it wrongly, they are very slack about recording details accurately.

[zsserbia]

I agree about the door and I don't know why the ride seems a bit high to me...

[talkingcars]

106k on a 2 year old car, doubt it was recorded correctly.

Car does look high but that may be the wheels and low profile tyres.

P/O looks like they cared but red calipers?

And I'd change that Hot Air Intake for one with a cold feed.

just ran it through autocheck and indeed it states mileage @ 09/06/2006 is 102,000

seems a bit high 102,000 in only 3 years of motoring , 34,000 per year !!!

See what the service book shows, should be able to gauge if the site has a misprint.

[petet16]

Looking at the engine bay, and interior pics I would say the high mileage is a Red Herring, the seat bolster looks unworn, certainly not 106,000 miles worn

[magpie67]

Thanks for the comments and advice, i will let you all know how i get on !!!

[magpie67]

Quick update..................................

The high mileage on the autocheck is wrong, the service:book: confirms this.

Looking at the previous receipts this car has been well looked after by the previous owner including ?341 for the exhaust !! :yikes:
The interior is really outstanding !!

As for the "different" looking paint colour on the door, it must be the light cos in the flesh it looks great !

The wheels :hmmm:, in the original ad i wasn't too sure, but in the flesh they look great !!

Yes, i paid a deposit , and i pick it up Sat 7th May :yes:

[peterzs]

Good outcome, bet you cant wait!!!

:wave:

[magpie67]

Tell me about it, i'm like a dog with two tails lol !!

Just gotta sell my 120 silver hatch now.


Just one downer, the missus has already "named" the car

Good outcome, bet you cant wait!!!

:wave:

[peterzs]

Don't worry, its a good sign when the cars named.

Been accepted into the family.

I've got "Primrose", sitting in the driveway!!!

:wave:

[magpie67]

Our new addition will be called....................

"Millie"

lol:unsure:

[peterzs]

Welcome to "Millie" in that case.

:wave: :band::band:

[magpie67]

will get some pics up next weekend (7th may) when i go get her :mbounce:

[petet16]

Nice one, it looked a nice car, and as the couple of question marks over mileage etc have been sorted all is good.

I like the wheels personally, but Millie...................................snigger:-D

[magpie67]

Millie the magnificent MG , lol

gotta let the other half have her input lol
