Newbie buying a Maverick seeks advice

[Wizza]

Hi everyone, total newbie to 4x4 world Wizza here looking for some advice re buying a  maverick as a second car. Mrs Wizza and I have got our eyes on a couple of motors . One is  1998 FORD MAVERICK 4X4 2.7 TURBO D  GLSLWB 7seater  P reg, leather seats , a/c 117k miles , running boards etc , the other 1998 S Reg FORD Maverick 2.7 TD GLS 99k miles,a/c cloth interior , tinted windows, no running boards .

What sort of price do you think they should be , they both look v well kept. What else should I be asking and looking for.?

We are not frequent car buyers so we're not up to speed with anything other than using a Maverick car review check list.

Basically we're lacking confidence in  what possible hidden things to check.


I looked at a friends M reg and it had water in the passenger footwell, so I've discounted that one......


Grateful for any advice.

Regards Wizza

built by nissan, with the 2.7 td engine that is used in Taxis - so basicaly bullet proof - not seen too many rusty ones, so that looks ok..can be serviced at either Nissan or Ford garages.. looks are a bit strange, but good seating arrangement..
