[markmilward]

hi guys been offered a 92 jplate tbar 2.o problem is its done 120k looks tidy and has lots of reciepts, whats it worth and what bad points should i look out for?, its up for £1900, please advise guys

[^Trickster^]

doesnt sound too bad really, you can get them cheaper but it depends how tody it really is and what history it has with it, in my opinion 120k is no big deal. Id be making sure its had timing belt, etc etc and bodywork/electrical things are all in working order.

i always say this, whats it worth to you, sometimes you look at a car and lets be honest, youd give more than its worth to own it, then some you look at and you worry about the price, when i buy a car, as soon as i see it, ill know if im going to buy it or not. but, i have bought some right sheds

lol

Modern Jap twin cam engines are superbly solid and reliable. Toyota, Honda and Nissan make the very best IMO.
All do huge mileages with the right servicing. Performance should stay fresh till it pops it's cloggs...

"140 mph in 4th gear" ??? What sort of gearing / rpm would that require - mines quite fast, but im sure it wont do that?????

car is a standerd j reg uk t-bar running 170bhp
with 225/50/16 wheels on the rear and 205/50/16 on the front i am told this gives me a bit more mph top end.
around 140 is in the limiter lol
3rd gear is around 105/110 at the limiter
