Your best bet is to have a test drive and take it from there mate. If it all sound and it's the car you want then got for it mate.

jerry!!

About the right price.

hmmmm a car that can potentially cost hundreds to repair, with 155,000 on the clock, for the price of a runaround fiesta..

no, i wouldnt buy it, as i'm guessing 500-700 is about your budget? That leaves you nothing for sorting out any potential problems... MOT or not MOT, these things can be expensive to maintain. 155000 is a LOT of miles, even for a 16 year old supe.

If it's been regulary serviced, well maintained, I'm sure it'll have many a 1000 miles left in it.

IIRC yours is low mileage, but has had a knock for ages. Mileage doesn't mean an awful lot, it's the history that is the main thing.

IMHO of course.

With these cars you usually get what you pay for....

As Adi said it will cost a lot to get acar perfect.... which is why the good ones sell for a lot more!

On the other hand, sometimes you can snap up a bargain....

Any more info on the car would hlep.. like year, transmition etc etc

Milly car is still tight at 170,000 miles.... although it is not on its original engine....

It's cam float apparently :D not a knock ..

Anyway, if this car had been regularly serviced, and well maintained, i dont think it'd be £550.

£550 cars are just that. I wouldnt expect to get a well maintained, reliable, good condtion car of ANY type for £550, let alone a supe.

A runaround, yes.

Still , we havent seen it.. so who knows... hope its a good un.
