for one its a five door :lol: unless its a five door your looking for? only thing is tho with the MOT being up end of this year you'v got to think well what will it possibly need to get it through... and if you go to look check the brake pipes for cracking, and front and rear chassis members for holes and rust, and if you can take a jack and check wheel bearings and for play in the front steering, but yea looks a tidy straight car, also check the chassis number is the same as whats on the dashboard, and sometimes same as whats imbedded into the glass, (some cars dont have this, my sport doesnt yet my 1.2 did) but yea dont look to bad for £690 you should get that for £550 maybe.

Just went to view it - I think a skip would be in better condition!!

- Rear shocks had gone;
- Wipers were crap;
- Battery was leaking;
- Lights were dim;
- Stalks were poor (needed a large amount of force to engage "flash beam") ;
- Had starting problems;
- Rusty wheels, and;
- Smoke was coming from inbetween the steering wheel and column!

HEAP.
