Mileage is 118k

Should I go for it and what what springs and water pump should I request for

That seems reasonable to me to be honest. You want the original OEM replacement manufactured by Pierburg. See attached for part number.

You might want to ask about them replacing the thermostat and radiator header tank at the same time.

On the springs front have a search on the forum, there are a few and it depends

Also, I see they didn’t include the brake lines. You’ll need to budget for that as it has been an MOT issue for some years now (not really the sort of thing you want to risk really)

Is the thermostat and radiator expansion tank expensive job

Thanks

I bought it based on the following.

The works to be carried out are a electric water pump. Oem spec.

EIBACH springs and suspension check to make sure all a suspension is ok.

Full service, including all filters,oils and spark plugs

12 months MOT

All electrics in good working order and air conditioning working as described.

Air conditioning refreshed

Full health check

If all of the above is completed and invoices can be provided I will accept the vehicle and transfer all funds across to the given account
The bodywork looks immaculate as described with no dents, stone chips or scratches and all panels aligned.

There is also 3 month warranty included in this sale

Shaz, you’ve done as much as you can and negotiated a good discount along with all that work added in.

There’s not much more you, or in fact the dealer, can do

I hope everything goes as planned and you enjoy many happy miles in it

I think I would be taking the piss if I started saying I want any more work, for the agreed price.

I have knocked a £1050 off and got them to do 600£ plus worth of work.

At 8200 I feel like I have got the best one i could have got

It’s took me 6 months of constantly looking and viewing many and missing out on some good ones.

You’ve done well. Enjoy the car, they are great; I hope yours doesn’t come with any money traps.

It’s got 3 months warranty, the only thing is the abs pump which i will get checked out prior to the warranty running out

I feel confident with the purchase and happy that I got a coupe before they become even more extinct and pricey.

Glad to hear you have gone ahead with it following the discussion on the forum.

How do I know if it has dsp audio ?

He said it has upgraded hifi
It won't have storage cubbies in the bulkhead behind the seats as they will have speakers in them!

Hmmm, not definitive.
The top hifi (not dsp) also as speakers rather than cubbies behind the seats.
To check for dsp look for an amp in the boot down next to the battery.

That's optimism right off the scale!

There's a 38K mile MC that has been for sale on here for 2 months for £25K.

And anyway as I found out Ruby Black is a real PITA to keep clean, but my 54K miler only cost £9,600 in 2014.

Yeah true as with any type of Black paint... BUT, when it's gleaming and that sunlight hits it it's epic (for that 1 week out of the whole year in the UK haha)
