Its all very well people saying you can get a tubby for under 2k but these car are
'generally' dogs.
I still say good ones start at 3-4k.
Given the current climate, you will find people desperate and massively underselling their cars but those are few and far between.
Its a false economy as you'll just end up suffering further financial and emotional stress.
Something else to consider is that most cars on the market now are hitting
(or are well past0 the 80k mark.
in my mind, a four pot turbocharged motor with that milage needs to be viewed with caution.
by all means buy it and enjoy it but keep a few thousand in teh abnk for the potential rebuild.
After my beloved rev1 was driven into, I sourced a very cheap and minty rev2 to move everything over to.
The car drove fine adn pulled well.
Didnt really care about the engine as my forged unit would be moved over.
Only once taking the engine out and testing it was it tounf to have 50% compression on cyl 1 and oil swamping cyl 3.
had anyone else haev bought this beautiful rev2 sub
£2k tubby they would have ben facing a pooped engine just around the corner.
Point made.
£10k? Heck, I'd do some really special things to my car and by an FD RX7 too.
If I didnt haev an MR2 at the time, then I probabaly would look for the best thing to new out there.
(Newera Imports
£9.6k?)
