AVOID 95% of his cars are low grade overpriced tat and the guy himself has no clue what he is on about and is an arrogant tw@t as I have previously explained in another thread just yesterday.

sorry to be so negative but I would hate you to make a wasted journey to be treated like crap by a guy who has very little Idea what he is on about, his place used to be called merry hill motors

I have just one problem with the silver car and its the fact that the ad says its an unmolested car with 300bhp I didnt think any classic came with 300bhp as standard, and personally I wouldn't buy from someone who I wasnt 100% sure they knew what they were talking about but thats just me

yes,this was the first thing i noticed,but having said that i would expect it to be 275 ish.at that price,i would probably end up getting it mapped for uk fuel anyway but you are slowly putting me off

Sorry to be off putting but its better to get a good car in the first place rather than possibly spending the difference between a good and bad cars price putting a bad one right as well as the inconvenience of having it off the road

I think the op has a 99 uk turbo with 315 bhp so no real benefit in buying a 98 car with 12 bhp more personally. I think he is looking for a jdm sti/type r

i've looked at both of these cars, and been put off them both by members of this site and members on the Astra site i use. My scooby hunting continues, i know its going to be worth the wait in the end!
