So how was it?

[Punky]

So how was it?

pretty damn good. bodywork in v.good condition (no dents, scratches, rust etc..), interior sorted apart from a little tear in the drivers seat, alloys and tyres are proper nice, twin stainless DTM. only problem is its done about 110k, which is a bit excessive, but it drives well. just needs an overall service, a new headunit and a bit of work on the interior. not bad for £700, just gotto sort out the money aspect of it now.

[steve threlfall]

Thats a lot of mileage dude. Hope it hasnt been thrashed too much. £700 doesnt sound too bad but its going to cost you with the servicing...

[Skii]

Check the service history, but 110k is nothing for a Mk2.

[Russ]

you should always make friends with a mate whos a mechanic.

you never see a mechanic with no mates. get him to give it the once over.

[Punky]

yeeeh, they are gonna get it fully serviced before they sell it. i'm gettin it off a mate's brother, so i can trust them. only git is i gotto sell my scooter to afford it i fink
