Looks like a nice car, and with lots of kit. Go for it, 120 are good fun to drive too. You could always drop a turbo engine in it if you got bored, or of course the V6.

Mileage is not much really, it is only a 2 year old car anyway. Just depends on the prevouis owner.

I like the look of it.

Nice car but wonder what the reserve is set at ?

If the car salesman can't accept that they have misrepresented the vehicle and work with you to sort the problem out you are best to walk away from it. There are plenty of other cars out there.

If the car truly does have a 2L K4 engine then you are likely to have problems insuring it and will also have to have the engine rebuilt regularly (the Judd 2L engine has a 5,000 mile life between rebuilds, if I remember correctly).

Nah its a hatch - i want a saloon.

Well it looked just like the 120 engine i had in the zr so i think they had the details all wrong. It had 1.8K written on a sticker on the door pillar too.

Well as it is a K4, confirmed by your visual inspection and the engine number, then unless it has been professionally enlarged to 2L you should walk away from it. In fact, you should run from it. There would be some indication as to who had tuned the engine if it had been done professionally - for example, Judd changed the rocker cover to one with their name on it.

The more likely situation is that the car is a 1800 and that the salesman that you have been dealing with is a complete and utter plonker who can't admit when he is wrong, or just does not know anything about the cars that he is selling. In which case you should walk away from the car.

The alternative option is to point out to the salesman that since the car is a 2L that your insurance will be much higher (maybe quote some figures, e.g. £1000 for a 1.8 and £2,500 for a 2L) and as such the car is worth less to you. Plus the fact that the 2L has a 5,000 mile service interval instead of 15,000. Use this to negotiate the price down and then sort out the problems with the DVLA and insurance yourself.

Yeah, im leaving it. Its not worth the hassle to be honest and another will come up at some point.

That didnt know what they were on about just a dealer selling all sorts of cars. They just wanted a sale.
