Haha, I know what your like with cars, it will take some time for you to find a good clean one mate. The widetrack blob is a far better car than the UK hawk IMO )

Be careful when shopping mate,there are some real bad cars out there,however plenty of genuine sellers too

I've seen

Knocking pistons fobbed off as a noisy alt belt

Cat c right off as an hpi clear car at a ford main dealership

Described as mint (*** burns and mould)

Full service history,filled in themselves

Complete engine failure at a big car supermarket chain (not mentioning dealer name) diagnosed as noisy bearing

Spare wheel well full of stagnant water

A clapsed shock absorber on a car with 12 months mot !

But I'm just fussy

Appreciate the over modded bit as I know most look for as standard as possible, but it has got all the top bits on it. I'm not one to scrimp for cheap parts. The car is what it is, no dodgy history, engines runs perfect and is set up to take the power comfortably, which was my main concern. You will find one eventually, there's a lot of poor ones out there I found that out, just annoying when ppl say they are mint and there far from it. I've wasted plenty of hours looking at nails.
Good luck with the search W1 8eans is a minter but he won't part with it lol

This is a decent enough budget to get a good one but I do fear that there is not one up to your standard after looking at so many :/ Mine is in 'mint' condition but I did pay top money for it because of it and I'm going to keep it that way so when I do sell I'll not let it go for nothing

Good luck with the search and free bump for ya

Jon

Nice

What colour is it btw? I looked at I blue one in "mint condition" and that was on a 56 plate, wasn't that cheap though and with the PPP pack. I very nearly bought it but being a 56 plate fell under the big tax bracket of £500+ A year as opposed to £280 on my 55 plate.

Hope it's as good as it sounds as 7k is cheap for a late widetrack blob

Type uk car,never seen one on a 56 plate before only hawkeyes,I'm confused on the tax as the saleswomen tells me it is £280 for 12 months as the car is a 2005 spec motor but obviously registered in sept 2006,2.0 engine ??????

It's silver,not my first choice of colour tbh but at less then 7k I'm willing to flex

£8300 is about right price wise according to the trade books,a mint low mileage 55 plate is booking at £7500-£8000 at a main dealer !

The tax changed in March 2006 so no matter what engine it has in it on a 56 plate it will still be on the higher tax.

There were some 56 plate blobs as 2006 was the crossover year so both were still being sold, a 56 plate blob will have been one of the last made\ sold
