Well I put a deposit on the VTIR I was keen on, drove very well, no noises from the gearbox or engine, no rattles or squeaks anywhere. The car is a '99 facelifted model in extremely good condition, interior is perfect and the engine bay is spotless, few stone chips, but what 10yr old car doesn't, its definately one of the cleanest non-modified ones I've ever seen with a fully log booked 140k on the clock.....very happy with the buy @ $11k!! Now to slam it and de-wing it.
