I've been offered a 2000 1.2 punt mk2 8v for 650 quid. Silver 40 000 miles just had new head gasket fitted by car dealer. Is it worth it? What is it worth?
that's very good assuming everything else is good
whats the history like?
even if it hasn't been serviced very much with the money you save you can sort it out and pars are as cheap as anything for 8v
shop4parts do nice cheap parts and if you donate to the forum you can get a code for an extra 10% off
It's from a second hand car dealer so I'm guessing he's bought it due to the head gasket going to make some money once fixed. Step dads done a few deals with him before so he was offered it for 900 and now it's down to 650 so just hope I get it
it will be a very good deal but when/if you do get it make sure you spend a bit of money giving it some tlc
full service ect, cam belt if you dont know when its been done but 8v's are safe engines so its not the end of the world if it does go
Get a really close look at radiator and engine core plugs. The HG may have blown because its leaking somewhere. Its not big deal parts are cheap but dont plan any long runs until you know the rad is ok.
