Would just make sure you Hpi it mate, triple check the history against the old mots for mileage discrepencys etc, check the clutch isn't high on the biting point and if it is haggle the price as it will cost you, also check when cam belt was done, also it maybe coming up for it's next service so just try for money off if it is.
Don't be scared to walk away even though you've traveled miles as there is a million for sale right now.

thought i could see what i could, got an eye for it although it is annoying sometimes. gutted for you on the job side of things, wish i'd of been offered a wage cut instead of redundancy
im always browsing the net for scoobies,, like to dig out the bargains now and then. i'll keep my eyes open for you jamie
what the budget 7k?

My brother got his car transported from Central Scotland down to Lincon when it was going for some upgrades and it wasnt that expensive. Like you say its finding one that will be the hard bit.
