Advice needed

[rs2k2008]

Been offered a saxo vtr on a 52 plate for £800. It has got less then 60k miles on it and the cambelt has been changed, got 12months mot and 6 months tax. No dents or scuffs. Its of a te so seen it being used etc. Does it sound like a good price.

its a good price but always offer less and try your luck

And have a test drive first, Im by no way a big bloke but even I struggle to get comfy, and the pedals are pretty much on top of each other.

I hated driving my mates VTR the pedals are sooo close. But saying that was pretty nippy and i still like the look of saxos

it's worth £800 ok

 

pretty nippy and with a 35-40mm drop and it'll handle like a go-kart. a decent cam, 4 branch and 57i induction kit and it'll rev all day long

 

very prone to rot in the chassis legs and in the boot. oh, and watch out for leaky sunroofs!

 

door cards always seem to pop off at the bottom for some reason as well but you can buy a packet of clips for around a fiver

 

carrier bearings in the back axle would give bother, make sure the top of the wheel isn't lying in towards the the body of the car.

if your axle is fucked, despite what some people say, you CAN use a drum brake axle from a 1.1, just beat the stubs out of it with a sledge and beat the ones out of the disc brake axle back in. i've done it many times
