opinions on this Ebay 75 2.0TS
http://makeashorterlink.com/?X22F52AE8
I've gotten some larger photos from the seller, if someone wants to see them to give a better opinion. I can see it isn't immaculate, and the interior needs a good sorting, but apart from that what do you think? -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com |

Spotted that one last week. I'm sure it's actually re-listed, and I'd want to know the reason why if that's the case. Looks good to me, but the niggling doubt is over the mileage - my car has 40k miles on that one and the interior is near as perfect as you'd get on a 122k mile old car - ie. no splits or holes in the material, still a reasonable amount of support in the driver's seat, and carpets still intact. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 VW Golf GL Cabrio - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 155 TS Lusso - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

Down to a choice of 5. Either a 75 or a 155 A mid 90's Prelude VTEC 4WS a Saab 9000 Aero or go back to basics and have a giggle in my old favourite, a Skoda Rapid (cheap fun seriously basic, but generally reliable and you can repair them with gaffer tape and bailing twine). Getting closer, I'm actually resigned to selling the T16. Just got to raise a little more capital, and whatever the Saab fetches. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com |

Might be an absolute bargain, but it could be the > car from hell. I'd avoid having looked again. If there's a bubble of rust on the top of a rear wing, then it's going to be rotten everywhere under the plastic. The only place you should expect to see rust on one of those is under the rear lights, on the corners. Every one I've looked at was going there - due to the way water runs off the lights. I'd expect that one to be completely shot under the plastic - mine has just a tiny bit showing under one of the rear light clusters, but under the nearside rear arch cover it's totally crumbled away. Fortunately it's cheap and easy to have that fixed..... the rest, however, is completely solid. Definitely a suspect mileage - you'd expect to see a car of that age showing 100k plus miles........ don't bother with it, there's always another one. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 VW Golf GL Cabrio - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 155 TS Lusso - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

I was leaning that way. Be alright if I had access to a welder, and somewhere to sit back and take my time, but I don't. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com |
