Just re read it, yeah I know it, the milltek confirmed it as I muttered about it to Ben as it sounds pretty nice, the car is as tight as a drum and stunning

A mechanic friend of mine once told me to just as cautious with low millage (Old) cars as with ones with space mileage...

30 grand !!!!! i wonder why he has had it for sale for about 3 years ???

you would think that he would replace the missing cig lighter for that price. maybe he would sort it out if you paid full asking price. what a dreamer! mine must be worth over 40 grand now.

I've taken my RS2 off the road for 6 months.
Question, does driving my car in salt for six months do more damage to the car, or letting it sit idle in a garage have the same effect.

(Cold slightly damp garage)

imo the salts the big killer.

Interesting Comments

Thankyou John Johnson for your positive comments. Sorry Rob I don't write the colour down every day.

To answer a few questions:
PAINTWORK
Previous owner had before purchase from Fontains (we all know who they are) insisted on stone chips being removed on bonnet & bumper. They did the bumper, bonnet, front wings. They older chap hadn't noticed that that there was a slight mismatch in colour (I could see this in bright sunlight), they had stopped at the doors and also hadn't really bothered to get rid of the stone chips as I could just see them under the paint where the paint had sunk.

I sourced the boot spoiler from Germany, so at same time decided to have the front end done properly. The paintshop got a bit carried away and did more of the car than was originally intended and yes it is most of the car. Needless to say it was spot on workmanship. Only bit I didn't like was the bill.

This is a very nice car and the second RS2 I've owned, so I know a lot of their faults. ie handbrake, brakes, turbo delay/surge, aircon, etc etc. I have also owned a standard S2 and a Nothelle N300. I physically looked at three RS2's before this one and had the car mechanically inspected prior to purchase.

I agree the car is not cheap but it is a testament to its condition. I don't really want to sell the car and I won't be that bothered if it doesn't, as I know I will never be able to replace it again.

its a nice car but you gotta expect a few comments when you want that much for an old car. take 9 k off and you may be about right.

Want to expand on that???

Just being nosey....

Can we try and keep this polite and to the point please?

There is no need to go insulting people on the grounds that he worked on a car someone you don't know is advertising on forum other than this one!!!

Like my dear mum says, "if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say it at all...."

Thanks,

Steve.
