if he/her has recipts for head gaskets then seems like a bargin, but why would any1 have the hg done at 12k seems abit strange, the belts still need doing very soon but at the price they are asking still seems pretty good even if they are lieing about the hg, if u get the car for 600 or less and then pay ruffly 5-6ton on the belts making a maximum spend of 12tonish, still seems a bargin to me, but i have the same mk1 hatch on a 02 reg that came with 46k on the clock, and the master and slave cylinder went, and then the main clutch went, and then the brakes started squeaking, so expect to spend a few quid threw the duration of owning the car, but u would have the same prob with most cars except the shoddy clutch setup, but still if u compare the total to other cars u aint going to get a car on the same level for the same price, and belive me, the mk1 zs180 hatch still smokes alot of performance/new cars belive me, take the badges of it makes things funnier, i love all the boy racers trying to have ago, coz they think its a 1.4 or sumat haha
