Double check what it would cost to insure yourself, as it has modifications.

For the price you can pick 225s up second hand now... I wouldn’t even contemplate one with that many miles on it...

And after that many miles on the stiffer suspension... the dash must rattle like a money box! I have 16,000 on mine and the odd rattle has needed sorted!

Just my humble opinion!

what price? initial poster has given none....

I'd say it really depends on the price asked for it.....how much is that?

I ment there price in general, with hardly any cars moving on the market prices have come down quite a bit. Well at least here in NI. For example there is one for sale in Renault Newtownards 2005 30,124 £5,999. I know he didnt say a price but at the same time thats not exactly a whole load of money for the car.
