Default Does anyone here live in Manchester (UK)?

Hi,

I have found a real good looking EVO III GSR that are for sale in Manchester.

I wondering if someone here live in Manchester and could take a look at the car for me? I have already booked a flight the 6:th of September to pick up the car. But I wan´t to be 100% sure that the car is in mint condition.

The car is meant to be for my girlfriend and a wintercar for me beside my STI 05.

If anyone here could help me out. Please PM me.

Regards
Johan Ljungberg

AA car data check, or HPI, these should both, but only since importing into the UK. It's not far for me either, maybe a mini Smacs meet to check a car out

Of course I get what I pay for :-) But this will be a car for my girlfriend. I really liked the looks of the car, maybe the best looking old age EVO I have ever seen.

Johan, this BBS would be more suitable for a technical inspection if you can get anyone to look for you

That was where I found the car :-) But as I am a Subaru owner the verdict would be best from someone here due to I am a frequent visitor at Scoobynet.
