Most common is knocking rear shocks.

if you can, see whats left of the brakes. these cars accelerate hard and brake hard so can quickly go through brakes. not cheap so it could be a bargaining tool.

Went to see it and it all seems fine, took it for a spin and was really pleased with it. Hopefully pick it up in a week or so....

what kind of money did you pay for it, what colour and was it standard or modded and what mods?

only asking as i'm also in the market for an 03/04/05 blobeye and wondering how much people are buying them for. I have noticed that the Parkers guide price compared to what people are trying to sell them for is vastly different.
