most dealers don't know what they are selling tbh . I saw one selling a 944 Turbo as a Lux once !
Hope its not an S2 if they get any cheaper we won't be able to give ours away.[&o]
mind you at that price its cheap enough to break for spares if you need an engine ,diff or gearbox

That's assuming the engine hasn't been changed and the registration documents left unaltered.
It definitely looks like a 'run it into the ground' type of car - spend money on one job and I'll bet a very expensive list far longer than your arm will materialise.

The dent in the 1/4 panel and rust in the sill may have been enough to write the car off if a body shop quoted to replace both and re-spray the whole side of the car.
Actually, if I didnt have enough projects on the go (including my own S2) then I'd be tempted. But I'd offer the dealer 1K and take it from there. I think the rear 1/4 would pull out and I'd make my own sill piece. Then the cost of repair instead of running into £1,000's is only a few litres of 2-pack and primer. Just over £100.

I saw that apparent dent as well. And did wonder.
It may make a cheap project car - yes - but you'd need space, tools and skill to make it right. And that's before you get into whether it runs right, whether the brakes are plate-lifted to bu99ery, whether the cams are on their last legs etc.
It could be worth a look for an enthusiastic DIY'er, and still make a good buy for the right person.
The big snag is that tat like this makes the high prices asked (and rightly so) for good examples look like rip-offs.

I can sort plate lift myself too! Cam's are another matter- ~£400 each, do you think the seller would let me take the cam cover off for an inspection?[

Its got a few issues to sort out.... but its definately worth taking a chance on. Hopefully it dosent get broken up [
You will need :
1.Somewhere to work on it

3. An understanding Missus
Wheres Mike Brewer and Edd China when you need them [
