Morley Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Hi all im looking around at all these lovely Westfields and overwhelmed! I’m wanting a car mainly for road and odd track day, possibly a bit of touring. My thinking is a 2ltr ztec something like that. I’m looking around 10k I’ve seen one on auto trader it’s factory built. my question is what’s the top things I should look for? thank you morley Quote
Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 If you can make it, come over to the meeting this Tuesday at the Fox and Grapes on York Road, A64. I should be in my Westfield, and hopefully some more will be there. We might be able to give you some advice. 2 Quote
Morley Posted October 31, 2019 Author Posted October 31, 2019 Thanks Robin I’ll try to make it 👍 Quote
BigSkyBrad Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Go on condition and build quality, not age - I bought a 1999 factory-built with 13k miles in fantastic condition for £7500 (and £500 to see/bring it home from Nth Ireland) three years ago. If buying a pre-2000 car, I'd be looking for a wide-body with detachable rear fenders - makes life easier if you're unfortunate to have a fender bump. Your 10k will buy a nice car, and maybe even one that's been warmed-up for some trackday outings. If you're also wanting to tour, a heater and a well-fitting hood is a big plus. 2 Quote

SootySport Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Seems to be a pretty standard car and with not many miles on it, the bodywork should have no cracks but only minor stone chips. Worth a look I would say. Quote
SXRORY Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 all i say is power is expensive so if you think you ll want more when you drive it think about is it enough? and what all the other other said is it built well. Wiring good, is it though out well etc Quote
