    Goin to look at a petrol 99 coupe with 90k odd miles on the clock at the weekend.
    Has NCT, and looks good in the photos.

    The thing is i know nothing about them!
    Its been maintained by a local so there is no real history of whats been done to it.
    what should i be looking out for?
    what are the issues with them?
    better yet, anyone here wanna come with me, lol!!
    free coffee to whomever wants to come along and check it out for me!:D

    He should have previous NCT's and printouts from them so you can see how close test items were to failing and how many miles were on it at each NCT. He should also be able to provide receipts for either work done or the parts when it was serviced, if you are getting neither I would avoid.
