Jackoc Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hey everyone! Just put a deposit down for a 1996 Glanza V after owning a 106 Quiksilver for over 2 years, im 19 now and wanting something different, always wanted a Glanza especially the EP91 but never thought i could afford it, but what do you know I can! Wanting to know im doing the right thing and not rushing into a buy for the sake of it.What do people think? I couldnt find a single dent/scratch/scuff anywhere looks stunning condition. engine bay is very clean. No leaks anywhere, just had an MOT monday. No mods atall. 50k miles. imported in 2007. With my haggling I've managed to get it for 3500 - is that good? Ithink it is but im new to the glanza world.Your opinion would be appriciated. Sorry for the little essay! Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
