TBH mate its got no real value-leather seats are all well and good-assuming you can use the car!!!

I'd leave it well alone.

mine was 300 + Ԛ£170 to get an MOT-so 800 is way too steep 8O
at the end of the day i think everyone here is right, i fell in love with the looks of it but at the end of the day if it cant be driven then what is the point, Ԛ£800 for cream leather and 6 alpinas seems ok but i dont really want to be switching parts in and out of cars, i just want one i can drive and do the jobs progressivly

i was meaning that if you want a nice touring in the long run then getting a decent touring interior is worth doing as & when the chance arises. if you buy it for Ԛ£750 and sell it toy-less for Ԛ£250, that's Ԛ£500 for a leather sport recaro touring interior and a set of wheels. not bad and you'll probably be looking a long time for an interior like that in a breaker.

that said, i messed the fact it had no mot... i'd want to haggle in that case...

good point dude, at the end of the day he payed Ԛ£750 for it and hes bought an extra set of tyres and alpina's, also a stainless full system so in reality i dont think hes gonna want to haggle becasue it owes him money now! i'll give it a go though but its like you said, what are the chances of cream leather sports seats showing up and alpina's for this kind of money, i think its worth it for the accessories and i'd be nearly getting a touring for free, it may be a pile or it may not, who knows???
