Never look at a car in the dark or when it's wet.

listen for noise about 1200rpm on passenger side of engine....other than that the usual stuff for checking

Me and a mate are meeting him at a service station so theres plenty of lights. Any other time i would view a car during the day. But tonight is the only time before it goes.

So make sure all electrics work

bodywork is in good condition

no rattle

no smoke

??

Thanks

Take a torch, tyre's, brakes, play in the steering, noises from steering, does it pull, clutch slip, coolant level and colour, brake fluid level and colour, shock absorbers. Basically, the more you check and find wrong, the cheaper you can get the car for.

I'm a nightmare to sell a car to!

Cheers lads. Went to have a look at it, wasnt going with the intention of buying it with not looking at it at day time.

But what did we see the bad out weighed the good even at the price.

Soo the hunt continues for a mk3 VR (mulbery, black or the iceblue/silver colour)

Hopefully before Ultimate dubs....
