should i buy or should i walk
muddyjames:
I think you have made up your mind as well or you are persuading yourself you have found a bargain. I dont think you have found a bargain personaly. I found a bargain last november. A 300tdi M reg auto disco 170k on the clock, 2k spent on repairs over 12 months, chassis is sound, floor needs a bit of work and it just so happened the bolt holding the alternator pulley on came loose but that couldnt have been spotted it was just bad luck but I have the es model (leather seats, air con, cd player, elec windows, elec sunroof etc etc) and it came with £70 seat covers for the front, light guards £70 ish tow bar, blacked out windows and a brand new spare tyre, 10 months mot, 2 months tax all for £2300.
My point is dont persuade yourself on this one. Go and compare it to other discos for that kind of money and see if it REALLY is a bargain. The dorrs not opening sounds dodgy to me but then again it could just be the lock spring.
I would honestly say walk.
LandRoger:
why are you asking us ?its obvious that your keen to buy it asyour making
excuses for it, sounds way overpriced to me , for that kind of dosh i would want R reg in top nick -its a buyers market dealers are doing anything to sell -most peeps dont buy cars in winter , so push and you will be surprised what a dealer will knock off ,
Spacemud:
Would look at more if I were you. Sold our P Reg v8 auto with 1 year old lpg conversion, 65,000 miles, full service history, no problems at all, interior looked brand new, minor rust (rear door closing panels) on ebay and got £4500 for it. That's not a lot different to what you are thinking of paying. You just need to find someone who has a decent car but needs some hard cash in a hurry, there are plenty of them about!

--- Quote from: "Wanderer" ---Rule number 1 when buying a motor.
If you need to ask the question "Do I walk away"
Walk away.
Never let your heart rule your head when buying a motor.

I agree!!
