If its more than 10 years old or has any non dealer history you need to make sure the subframe has been replaced. I wouldnt touch one not replaced by a dealer either and deffo not the strengthening plate bodge.

Its a shame john-ds isnt a vert, 83k, subframe replaced, recent insp 2, only mods are a wheel refurb, carbon boot, springs and catback.

i disagree. this one whilst being slightly older has a sensible mileage and individual seats

few more miles but individual again, and with hardtop.

I agree, if i wanted a minter id have to go upwards of 10k but i dont want something that im scared to drive/leave anywhere

Also my subframe was fine, sold car when it was 8 or 9 years old and had 80k on the clock.


Check it by all means, but not all of them fail.

Tbf if it doesn't have corroded mirrors its because they have been repaired. Same with the wheels.
