Hello
just joined the forum and nearly got myself a Glanza today. Am 24 years old and have owned quite a few cars in my days. But am now after a pocket rocket to accompany my next saloon diesal purchase. The glanza will be a weekend toy.
Went to view one today that was on the autotrader for £1750 - N reg
and the deal was to do a straight swap with my corsa 04 1.3cdti.
Anyway the car was an absolute bag of crap (not how the owner had mentioned it)
The gear knob fell off. Needed new rear shocks. Drivers door dented and starting to rush.
Exhaust was loose. Lights faded. Inside of windows badly scratched. Interior looked like it had been chewed on. Rear bumper all scuffed. Speedo not working. Car had extra 4k miles then advertised. Wind deflectors broken. Wiring on show. The list goes on.
Anyway i took it for a test drove and was really impressed with the power so think i will defo get one but would like to know what you owners would recommend me look out for. i am after the facelift version.
any hints and tips would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
