I'm only 19 and this would have to be one of the biggest decision's I've made in my life and I don't wanna screw it up lol. :blink:

Mate can you get insurance for it? If so how much? I would hate to see you screw it up/

I rekon get a RAC vehicle inspection and make sure its been regularly serviced. With turbo cars the oil needs to be changed regularly to ensure the turbo has a good supply of oil.

I gave the car a test drive today, it was pretty nice.....only thing I noticed was that slow speed cornering it shuttered.

the guy said that was because of the 19" rims put more load on the powersteering pump cause it was designed for 17's and that's why it shuttered. other than that it drove great and I think im gonna get it.

Go buy a factory original from an old bloke.

It will have been looked after and more probably not thrashed.

Given the cost to repairs - turbo, boxes etc..... pay more for the right car - low K's, old bugger, and, factory standard - and save on the maintenance costs!!

You can`'t go too far wrong if you take the time
