Walked away from this one!

As the heading says I had to walk away from this, it looks great in the photo's and has great spec but had a few issues.

Any interesting issues?

Thefinn · 14 Oct 2017

It just felt a bit unloved things like the cup holder was broken and the CD holder popped out on the seat when I pressed it. I think the front bumper had taken a knock at some point as there was a lump of filler around the town hook insert so it was not quite round. I started it from cold and the battery was a bit flat but that's probably because it has been standing but I don't know if I was being bore score paranoid but I am sure there was a slight tick but as I said that's was probably me. I left it running for a while to get it up to temp then it sprung a leak, the final nail was I had been told it had a full service history but it had not been serviced for the first 4 years!

Leak. In fairness it is probably just a joint as it has had new coolant pipes fitted

Each to their own. It depends what you want to use the car for I guess Boba

Is that the going rate for a Gen 1 these days?!

I'm sure DH had a Gen 2 coupe (similar to mine) for less than that recently

I'm not the up on prices for these cars but that seems very high, seems like gen.2 Money.

Have to agree, that's what I thought chum. The dealer has over-egged it somewhat :what:

The leak looks like the a/c draining away the water so normal .. not that it really helps here though ..

Actually not sure why i even answered ..

Hmm ignore my post

Thefinn · 15 Oct 2017

Oh didn't think of that about the ac but it gave me a good excuse to walk away as I didn't get a good feeling for the car. Oh and don't worry I wasn't going to pay the asking price it's well over.

They always say, if it doesn't feel right. Its because it isn't right.

You'll find another. I'd probably have walked away too.

At £39k for a Gen 1 Vert it should never have got to viewing the thing never lone feeling right :thumb:

Gut instinct is never wrong, there are plenty of others and priced better as well.
