Thought the same. It’s a bit of a wrecker. “M-sport body kit” doesn’t inspire confidence either.

But it does have an M-sport body kit, I'd prefer they admitted it rather than suggest it was an actual M-sport.

Click and hold on it and it should be highlighted with an option to copy.

There's nothing wrong with the 1.8 diesel per se. It's just that the wet belt is an expensive job that's often skipped/forgotten. I'd say a lot of indie garages wouldn't even know there's a 2nd belt buried behind a cover. Once it's done then the engine is fine for the next ~100k miles. If it's not done then make sure you haggle hard for a hefty discount to cover the cost.

That chain conversion costs €800-€1000, so it's not economically viable on a '08 that would only be worth €2k on a good day.

Granted you would see worse but I think its a terrible looking yoke with what I'd guess is a cheapo enough looking paint job and finish in reality. While admittedly I wouldn't be too clued in on their prices surely €2,350 is over the odds for the year and given the number of previous owner. Vendor seems very firm on asking price so its probably fair to say its not really for this thread anyway.

It's over priced and wouldn't be too keen with the state if that boot lid. Someone didn't care for it before, so why pay for it yourself?

At €1800 a go I wouldn’t blame anyone for doing the old swap-a-roo on the logbook.

Thanks for the replies lads. This particular car I think is a non runner anyway. As says the timing belt is just done, asked seller had he receipts for it, he told me no, but I could check the new belt myself.

When I suggested it might be a bit tricky to see the wet belt, he stopped replying

If the car is being kept for a good few years then id get it converted to chain like the pre September 07 units.

I'm thinking of having a look at a 2011 Mondeo estate with the 1.8 diesel engine, but the last page or so of this thread has me thinking. How much of an issue is the wet belt on the MK4?
