Ok, i bought this car around 5 months ago and it had just had a new engine fitted by jamsport, the car is now on 8000 miles, since ive had it it is burning a tiny bit of oil which is very frustrating with a new engine, i always let it warm up and hardly "redline it" everywhere. I beleive the fault to be valve stem seals or pistion rings, apart from that the rest of the engine is brand new. All work on the car was carried out by Jamsport, aswell as fitting a new engine they inspected the gearbox and clutch and these are both perfect also.
This year the car has also had new:
CV joint
Catalystic convertor
Standard exhaust system from cat back
New rear brakes
New front red dot discs with gm pads
Rear lowering springs fitted by previous owner, 40mm i beleive.
Braided brake hoses
The car is a 95 gsi and these are becoming rarer and split everyday, the interior is pretty immaculate except for the usual tear on the drivers side bolster and 2 tiny fag burns from a previous owner, It also comes with a alpine headunit which is still one of the top models i beleive worth 300, there are pioneer speakers on the parcel shelf too.
Now the bad bits, the bodywork is pretty good for a 11 year old car but with a few stonechips on the bonnet which is to be expected. The worst thing is someone nicely dented the rear qaurter for me whilst it was parked up, im not sure how much this would cost to repair but i think somewhere around the 200 mark.
Its a nice little car bar the dent and burning a little oil but with these sorted it would be a nice little car.
Ive tried to be honest as possible about the car as i think that is only fair.
Im not sure how much to ask for the car but it has had alot of money spent on it this year, i know the previous owner spent a grand just for the engine not to mention all the other new parts its had. I will put a base price of around the 1500 mark and upwards, i would appreciate genuine offers and no timwasters as i have been as honest as possible.
The car currently has 4 months tax left and 7 months M.O.T
If no one is interested in the car i may be swayed towards splitting the car.
Cheers, dean.
