    The timing belt may need to be changed.

    Timing belt would be one of the main things to check. It should be changed about every 50k miles/5 years and the water pump and tensioners should be changed at the same time. Also check that everything electrical works.

    I would not recommend getting a IDE coupe. The IDE is the 2 litre version and it known for consistently breaking down:rolleyes: If you are getting a 2 litre coupe, make sure it has the VVTI engine.

    I have a 1.4l coupe. It has been regularly serviced and it runs great.
