Did you get a good deal and why?
Brought car from ebay from bloke that had did lots of things to it as follows: The car has had BOTH interior AND exterior steel coolant pipes replaced with brand new ones in July 2006. These are the pipes that run underneath the car to the radiator and inside the car to the heater. It was a real pain but it ensures that they will be trouble free for another 10 years or so. Also a few rubber hoses have been replaced to ensure a clean seal around the new pipes. For Sale Preparation: The car has had a brand new HEAD GASKET fitted (23/02/07) A brand new CAM BELT fitted(27/02/07) Brand new front brake discs and pads (27/02/07) Two new rear tires (05/02/07) Full service (i.e. Oil flushed and changed, timing etc.)
