Hello folks

came across this site and thought I'd join the fun :D

I would like some advice if you dont mind. I have been thinking of getting a glanza for a while now have about 4K to spend but if I get one it will have to last a good few years 3-4 is it still a good bet?
I dont know much about fixing cars so I would be a complete newbie to the whole thing guess thats whats putting me off.

Any good advice greatfull.

Cheers

for that sort of money try looking for a near standard model with around 50/60k miles
nice mods would be:
full exhaust,
decat,
good looking alloys,
coilovers,
later spec bumpers/lights

if u wana go for 1 with more performance mods then b careful the works been done properly, plus if u can try checking wot boost they're running

6.9secs don't listen to the gt guys saying 7.1sec they're just jeleous.
btw 3-4 years is alot to ask for nothing major to go wrong. Turbo seals will almost certainly go with in that time unless they've already been done other weakish parts are crank seals and cylinder 3 if the engine is modded. But for the kind of performance they give you'd find it hard to find a more reliable car.

I've just bought a GT from WRC Sales in Bradford which I'm guessing is reasonably close. They've got some top Glanza's at the moment and are quite proffesional when it comes to car sales. The prices are probably a little more than most places but you can tell the difference in the quality of their imports compared to to others. They also provide a warranty which is very reassuring. Definately worth a look :)

:rockon:welcome mate, i good glanza can last a long time if looked after, for instance there are still alot of pre glanzas about GT Turbos from the early 90's. check this out i am selling it is the nicest glanzas around with everything for the beginner thought of like alarmed etc etc, cos if you buy direct from a deal they usually don't have extra like an alarm. check it out. http://www31.brinkster.com/gshephard/glanza
