Daztardly Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I've put a deposit down on the scooby below. Hopefully picking it up on Thursday. Tell me what you think. Good, bad, overpriced waste of money. Good value? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201408276917319/usedcars?logcode=visc Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quit Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Doesn't say if it's remapped , that's the big question I would ask with a decat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daztardly Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think it has been remapped, but the seller doesn't know! He did however say it's quicker than any of the others he has brought, so he thought it had been! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daztardly Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I appreciate your honesty. You don't pull any punches. I'd love a STI, but i really can't get one for the money i have. Also part exing my Beemer! i did try the one on eBay, as it is stunning, but he's not interested in part ex. Still gonna go and check out the original one. he's offered me decent money on my beemer, especially compared to other dealers! I've knocked a few hundred off over the phone, and i'll try and get some more tomorrow. Any other tips for me? Like an easy way to check the mapping!. If it turns out to be a dog, i won't be driving it home, thats for sure. Cheers and keep up the honest advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Only way is a reciept Start from ice cold and listen for any grumbles or weird groans when under a very slight load , like 1500rpm Check selects all gears correct and reverse slides in Easy , give it some abuse in 4th if it pops out easy it's !Removed!

Daztardly Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Well went and tested 2, including the silver one. It was ok, but in all honesty it was a bit tatty! the second one i tested was in really good nick, has the PPP and most importantly drove superbly, especially on my journey home! Loved it, bought it. On the downside, i really don't like the wheels. All the bits are done, only has 56000 miles. Not too noisy, but has the lovely burble i was after. i couldn't be more pleased. Do you think anyone on here might be up for a swap, with or without cash? i'll get some pictures on here soon, and hopefully some nicer ones once i've changed the wheels!
