    Hey all,

    I'm looking about for a car, just wondering on people's thoughts on this car

    I don't really know much about cars, i know the above would be bout 650 in tax a year, but would there be any other reason that you would advise me not to get this?

    Thanks

    Looks lovely - I know sfa about engines and so on but could you haggle them down a bit?

    10k for a 6-7 year old 2 litre petrol is asking a lot in my (taken with a pinch of salt) opinion.

    yea i've been quoted a different price than what on the site, but my main concern would be, if something went wrong with the car is it going to cost me more to get fixed, than compared with a Ford Focus or something. It's NCT for 2 years.

    Also my mate know a bit about cars, said the wheels were expensive - i assume if i needed new wheels i could get cheaper ones?

    Not too sure, not up to speed on prices for them.

    Spec is good, leather, M Sport, and nice wheels also.

    Long NCT is a big plus, and it looks like a well maintained example. Check what the service history is like.

    As for maintenance, it's not ford focus, but I wouldn't expect any major bills either. Don't go to a dealer and you should be fine.

    Wheels are expensive, but you should never have to change them.

    Perhaps you're referring to tyres? The wheels on that are large, and as such rubber is more expensive. I presume they're 18", I'd be banking 500/600ish for a full new set of tyres.
