Hi there, I'm off to look at this today, having spoken to the owner it sounds good.

My only concern is the miles and price?

I'm rather new on here but have owned 16v T coop before.

Can any one advise if the price is ok?

I've seen this car a few times and it looks a tidy motor.

But is it worth it? 148k on clock £2275???

Looks superb in the photos visually, and its got lots of kit, RS fmic etc, iv just bought a good looking one, quite abit cheaper though, i dont think enthusiasts are put off by mileage really, so id go for it maybe, i should have got a girly purple one now,

Girly purple one?? Would you be saying that's to Marvic's 500bhp coop from Torque Italia??

Thanks for input though :0)

lol at the end of the day, if a car is purple-then its purple and you cant get away from that i guess.
and fiat painted that really purple, so its purple lol

and your welcome

It's not purple, it's blue

^^^^^^ I never mentioned yours

but i bet every owner has had this long talk with someone whose called it blue,

Mine is blue yes and so is the Porto, just different shades of blue.

so they made 3x blue coupes then instead of 2, 1 x yellow 1 x green,etc etc hmm and they didnt even make a purple, HA they must have made a purple one, im sure of it

ok then anyway, if your looking for a particularly gay colour offhand please buy a vinci grey one!

No, 4 blue, 1 yellow and 3 greens.

Women dont usually know this much about anything? Are you a dude by any chance? 3 greens? which are?
i thought scottie sitting on the drive was the only 1, and whats the other blue?
oh and actually- Thanks for teaching me something(every woman is different) or perhaps just 1 is

Lol, yes, I'm a woman and after being on here and owning a Coupe for around 6 years, I've eventually picked up bits of information

The greens are:

Scot's Green
Chamonix Green
Energy Green

The blues are:

Portofino Blue
Sprint Blue
Electric Blue
Blitz Blue.

Hi can I remind you of my original question, I'm not looking for answers to what's a good colour as thats a personal choice and not really wanting to know how many different shades colours were brought out.

I'm trying gauge of this particular car is good for the money? Can we please stick to that as I seeing it in 4 hours.

Thanks

Yes and sorry Mooks

Good luck and hope it goes well later

No prob, I'm sure your both really clued up and if you want to continue the colour debate I think you'll find the buying guide will clear things up....it has a list of all the colours for 16v and 20v. Thanks though

Mooks ignore the trolls

I know the guy selling this and he's a good guy, and although i don't know that car too well i'd trust him

Thanks, Mick does come across genuine so that's a good start, hope car is sweet I've been looking for a long time for a good one.

I know Speedy, and he would have looked after this car - I've seen her at JBTs. Mileage on these beasties is irrelevant; condition and maintenance is everything. Just check the receipt file and check for signs of metal moth - anything mechanical can be sorted but the rust can mean a write-off.

Good luck,

Tim

Thanks

How did it go Mooks?

Are you now driving back in a nice Porto Coupe?

I'll pm you

I can't believe people are making a fuss about paying just over 2k for a car with around 350bhp. Lol.

What else can you buy for the money?

And btw, speedy Mick is a sound as guy.

Like he said ^^^^^ sounds like a bargin to me.
Shake hands with him before he changes his mind.

anyway you can always get a respray...or a sex change

Thanks for all help and comments I've seen the car now, it's nice and Mick was very accommodating and upfront about things

Thanks

You don't say if you've bought it or not....I hope you didn't miss out just for a couple hundred quid

as above, a stunning car with a list of extras that would cost over the asking price on their own. Plus a lot of evidence and love shown particularly on the mechanical bits.

My inky black is blue!

didn't they do a nice pink too

Not in blue, no....

Please close this as it no longer needed, and the conversation has gone off topic ;o) Thanks
