All true bout Japcars!

Petrolheads
Well well well, what everyone says is true! Brought my mechanic out to Japcars to check over the Legacy, as soon as I walked in the gate yer man came over an said " ive to put 4 new shocks on her, needs a new rad, timing belt and a tidy up" grand, all can be done before its picked up. Mechanic checks over the car, small bits of rust on the boot, bootlid dont fit right, rust on pne of the wings. again, small things.
Then we drive the car, which was cold. Front Bearings gone, droplinks fu&%ed, no boost in 3rd gear. Complete shed. Looked so good though! Thanks for the advice lads, I was already wary, dont anyone be caught out by not havin a mechanic check a car out. Saved myself a fortune there I reckon

Back to the hunt

What im looking for is a b4, min 2003, preferably white. Ive a 2006 mondeo P/X and we can talk about anythin else. Can do a deal anytime, dyin to get into one, but will wait to find the right one!

Happy but so said ive no boxer engine to play with :icon_cry: :icon_cry: :icon_cry: :icon_cry:
 
i was just gonna say that turbo tony, they were always pverpriced even when they were southside automotive!
 
Fair play for walkin away dossie01, ur man is a cowboy i made a mistake of buyin off him few years ago, bad choice dats why i suggested look elsewere n the rest of the lads know to, but u didnt part with ur hard earned n will find dat leggy mate!! All the best with the hunt.

Alan. :subaru:
 
He's some cowboy alright :lol: :lol: have patience mate and don't buy one for the sake of it, otherwise you'll see the one you want and regret not waiting :hammerhead:
 
Delighted i didnt get a banger, its just beacuse i can only realy swap, havnt got that much cash to go with it!

Not white, but think i could live with it! Need a standard one with standard exhaust for work etc, looks clean, hopefully he will do a p/x for my mondeo, anyone know him?

Not a penny to spend??? yeah right. If its straight off the boat your looking at around 1500euro for a full major service. Alarm then on top of that.
 
Thats what I said to him AndyC , i emailed him last night, wanted my mondeo + 3 grand for a deal, needless to say!

He would appear to be a dealer so you never know he might have changed the belts already. Worth asking anyway :thumbsup:

Each to there own opinion,
From the horror stories iv heard,
I personaly wouldn't deal with them.
I didn't say a bad word about any of the lads in there either.

Just MPO.
