Personally...No.

I always look for something with as low miles possible in budget and completely standard.

Although I feel "boy racer" types look after their cars more they also drive their cars a lot harder.

I agree with the 'boy racer' bit.

The new engine and turbo would put me right off for a start and those alloys are horrid.

The wheels do look horrid but he does have the originals. Engine could have been replaced due to cambelt failure or something rather than actual abuse?

I have read the rest of your comments but that is classic car sales trick making you think that someone will snap it up
