IF you know what you are doing, you could easily purchase this Marea 20v and either break for parts or service and repair and have a nice comfy motorway cruiser or sell on for a profit.

Thanks

That'd be quite a snatch with a good owner, car looks in good shape and the marea seems to be not so bad with rust, although you must definately check it!

MOT items aren't so bad either, should be sortable, and milage, i've heard the engines going on for longer then the stated.

Thanks for the encouraging words. If only it wasnt for the emissions I'd be working on it right now for a MOT Pass cert.

Hopefully someone with access to a tester or more knowledge about the cars will be able to hone right in on the problem.
