I've come across a beautiful 1990 Panda that looks and sounds to be in good nick. Low miles and looks clean from the pictures. I haven't seen it in the flesh yet, but am going to make a trip out to it this week.
I'm a complete novice though, so I'm a bit worried whether I'd be mad to take it on. I'd be really grateful for some tips and advice! I have these questions so far:
- The asking price is £1,750 . Assuming it's in good condition is that a reasonable price?
- Any particular problems that I should be looking out for when I go to view it?
- Do these cars normally come with rear seatbelts or might I need to get them retrofitted? If so is that easily done?
- I'm fairly handy, but I'm no petrolhead. For anything complicated I'll need to take the car to the local indie mechanic. Am I gonna end up spending a lot on maintenance?
- The car will have to live on my driveway exposed to the elements. Will that be a problem?
Thanks in advance for any help
