Looking at buying

http://www.riceroddymotors.ie/viewanad.php?ad_id=1210077&r=%26amp%3Br%3D

Its passed nct, timing belt has being changed

Is there anything else that may need to be replaced ( flywheel etc.)
Getting standard 3 month warranty

What's opinion on the price €11k?

Cheers for any input

Looks clean, good colour and decent spec. Mileage is average enough for the year but no mention of any service history in the advert. The flywheel should only need replacing if the car shows the usual signs of excessive wear or imminent failure.

€11k is the asking price, I'd expect it to be less if you have no trade-in and the only way to know if it's good value is to find a similar car being sold by a different dealer and see what they want for theirs.

Saw another one that was sold recent , garage sold it for €11,500 but it had only 60k miles on it

Cheers waiting to hear back about the history , but Im thinking from the way the sales guy was talking that it might be patchy

Im buying it straight no trade in, could I expect to get €500 off or is that pushing it

Really depends on how much the dealer bought it for and how well priced it is against similar cars. Best thing to do is make them a sensible and realistic offer based on what you think it's worth and see how they react.

Car looks very clean but when you do a test drive pay attention to a vibration when starting slowly in d 1st gear. If you feel some jitter(vibration) then flywheel needs replacement (€1200)

Electric handbrake will probably give trouble at some stage as well
