Just spoke to the garage and usual selling for a friend of the owner and zero movement on price.
Think it needs easily 3k spend on it to bring it up to standard of where if should be.
Nice to know these aren't bad for rust. A car the is only a few years old will have rust just the way if the world.
Nice to know it didn't have a MOT and exhaust was super loud. Would need to get both of those sorted if I'm going to proceed with it.
When was the Timing Belt last done, would it...
Was there a Trophy specific gear knob, not that it bothers me. Spent 2 years chasing ones for the Impreza so not going through that again. The one fitted looks nice but more things to batter on price 👍
My plan of attack is to check to see if there is any movement on the price of #187.
As I would expect you want to do the full belt service and rebuild suspension so then I know it's all good. Which is easily well over 2k of work it needs
So just to confirm we are in agreement that I should look into 187 more and seems like a solid car.
My worry with eBay 7k one is rust. Can't buy another car with rust issues, my mental health and bank balance can't take it.
Having spent an obscene amount on parts for the Impreza I know how much things have just sky rocketed in the last few years.
Need to have a chat with them about #187 as needs 2k + spent on a service and rebuild of suspension. Which will be 3k easily went finished.
Are there any Clio experts in Yorkshire as would like the have #187 inspected. ( I assure I need more than the usual RAC inspection)
Wonder why the dampers are off it and is everything there to go back on, apart from usual bushes, worry is that something rare is missing and won't be noticed till...
Who would be best to get a pre purchase inspection done. Worry is rust or how are these with it.
Edit. My worry about the 7k one is the slight rust and why so cheap. It's seems a bargain which worries me
