Looking at a GT86 today

[Looking at a GT86 today]

Thanks for the response Lowe!

Finally went to see it yesterday and had a shock when I arrived - it's actually black! Not in bad nick but I'm kind of on the fence about it as it has a car park dent in the rear quarter, patchy service history, cheap tyres, and the dealer won't budge on price. I think I'm going to have to park the GT86 dream for a bit unless the price comes down somewhat. He wants £10k for it which it would be worth if some or all of the above weren't an issue, but as it is,it's just one too many red flags.

Oh well! Pictures anyway because everyone likes pictures.

Well, just had a call from the dealer to say their valeter has not been today so they don't want me to come down. I did suggest that I don't mind looking at a dirty car but can see why they didn't want me to!

Maybe tomorrow...

Hi All, 

Going to look at an '86 today. Always told myself I'd have one some day but never thought I'd be able to afford it for a good few years. However one has just turned up locally that looks just the right spec and price, so going down there to have a drool and maybe empty my bank account. 

Previous cars include a modified MX-5 and Mk2 TT, but currently driving a diesel golf which makes me sad

The car in question is Grey, '12 plate (hasn't had the valve spring recall done yet. Should I be worried about this? I think I would just get it done ASAP for peace of mind). 

Auto 'box which I've always fancied as I do a lot of stop-start driving mixed with motorway cruises. Is it responsive enough for a little country lane blast though?

Has reverse sensors, heated seats etc. 67k miles so plenty of life in her. I have read the sticky so trying to go in with eyes open, but if anyone has any further tips then obviously they would be appreciated. I already have a list of mods the length of my arm planned, but nothing too heavy, just the usual stuff like springs, wheels, carbon lip spoiler, valenti lights. I'm a massive fan of @Lowe's Grey 86 on here.

 

Will update if I do end up taking the plunge!
