Re: New Car Suggestions
It's probably rotten if that's the true millage, it's not even due first service so all the oil and fluids will be maybe 15 year old
I'd be surprised if the of inside the block hasn't rusted

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: New Car Suggestions
It does seem very unrealistic! But if it's true then that's awesome

Re: New Car Suggestions
It's not all that unrealistic, I know there's an old woman that gets her car checked every 3 months and she does 500 miles a year
But as said above because it's hardly ever driven inside the block gets a rusty with the condensation and needs an overhaul, sometimes a flush does the trick but not always
Same goes for body work if it's just driven into a garage wet the water lies in all the nooks and just rots
Ideally you want a car with roughly 6-8000 miles a year because it's a driven car and in my experience anyway are normally in better condition

Re: New Car Suggestions
First time i've ever seen a B under 40k let alone 10k haha. My car finally sold today so i'm really going to be looking hard for a new one in the next few days. It's between a 6n Polo and a Corsa B. Whichever one comes along first that ticks all the right boxes

Re: New Car Suggestions
Yeah i agree with the mileage kinda thing, I always imagined that a car that's barely got any miles on it that's left for long periods of time will more than likely come across a few problems, I hit 105k yesterday and I got the car around June time with 102.840 on it :L

Re: New Car Suggestions
Ooh I really like the 6n I don't know what it is but when they're modified properly they can look so nice! I still think a B tbh since you know them inside out but after all it is your choice

Re: New Car Suggestions
Yeah I can imagine it seeing way more problems being left untouched for that long at a time. If anyone finds any B's or 6n's around Birmingham, or Tamworth where I actually live drop me a message

Haha yeah tbh, I bet if he put it almost back to stock he'd take the price down a hella lot, but I doubt they would

Re: New Car Suggestions
That's what I had to do to get rid of mine, most people won't touch a modified car. I imagine he'll have a very rough time trying to sell that with that kit at that priceWestley wrote:Haha yeah tbh, I bet if he put it almost back to stock he'd take the price down a hella lot, but I doubt they would

Re: New Car Suggestions
Yeah it's a shame tbh, but not a whole lot of people will be interested in his car like that! He definitely should take the price down and get all the horrid kit off!
