General Purchasing AGPSS

[Chris RWatts]

Hi,

Going to view an AGP Esseesse tommorow with the hope of probably buying it.
Just need a heads up on a few of the common things to look out for before purchasing.

Also at what milage does everyone recomend a cambelt change as it has covered 45k and has not yet been done.

Optional extras include leather sabelt seats, cruise control, dual zone climate control, blue and me and obvioisly the esseesse kit.

Thanks in advance

Chris

Cambelt is every 72k miles or 5 years (or 4 years for cars having done lots of short journeys), whichever comes first

 

[Chris RWatts]

Really ! Okay thought it would be more like every 30k as my normal grande punto 1.4 is every 60k !
With it being 59 plate it could probs do with doing then ill have to factor that onto the price !

Good luck look for the usual things you'd look for in any car; full service history, any history cosmetically of accident damage?.. Don't know what else really. It's a new enough car so I'm sure you won't be buying yourself a bad un. Make sure to post some pics if you decide to buy sounds like a minter of a car.

Put a deposit on it yesterday and picking it up this Sunday. Was in really good condition with every invoice for the car since new and along with a shed load of service reciepts.

Will upload photos soon as its back

Sounds like a good find, looking forward to the pics.

What was the score with its cambelt in the end?

 

[Chris RWatts]

Cambelt was changed at 25k as a subframe was done under warranty at the same point so all is well !

Very nice! Wanna swap wheels??

 

[Chris RWatts]

Haha not particularly no

 

[Chris RWatts]

Anyone else got these seats ? (Couldnt work out how to rotate th3 image)

 

[Chris RWatts]

Looks it rotated itself and turned to horrific quality !

 

[jasracing]

Haha not particularly no

Awe c'mon, white 18" Esseesse alloys would look great on a white car

 

[Chris RWatts]

I believe these were oroginally white and got powder coated titanium grey !

That's what I considered doing to mine but as two are brand spanker and the other two have just been refurbed it seems a waste to them have them painted again in titanium. If only the original owner opted for the titanium wheels when the Esseesse kit was ordered/fitted

Yh the titanuim are the nicests imo. Dont like the white on a white car at all.
