basically it was arranged for me to buy this gt yesturday,up in portknockie,and i live in northampton. i used to live in montrose so didnt mind the drive back as ive done it few times.
the bad points mentioned:
-drivers window doesnt wind up
-oil catch can wasnt piped up right so theres oil on the front of it.
-roof faded abit
what was actually wrong with it:
-piston ring was gone,smokin like a bastard out the rocker cover
-oil seals gone in the turbo,as there was oil all over the bonnet next to the dump valve,all behind the headlight was thick with oil,and it was coming out the join to the tmic
-roof totally faded and alot of the bonnet too.
-window winder was snapped clean off,(poverty spec gt)
-door light never goes off so battery lasts 2 days
-interior door handle ect trim not screwed to the door,just flops about.
and wasnt guna take less than £1650
i clearly said i was doin a 12hour trip
-£110 train there
-£50 to swap car on the insurance too and from it
-£95 for a room as everywhere was booked,and that WAS discounted from £135
-days wage,..had to take today off which my boss went nuts about.
then my mate said he knows a guy sellin his car,so we tried my luck and i went too see it...but thats a different thread 'my new car'
if it wasnt for buying this other id of had to pay another £110 for the train back aswell.
totally pissed off someone could do that to someone else
my advise STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR ! ! !
here is a link,its the gt pictured,with 60k miles,the roughest 60k a gt has ever seen no doubt.
