Patches Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 its roughly 87,000 miles. I wouldnt say it was bad if its been looked after and serviced properly but have a good check over the car. If you do a quick google search for "starlet buyers guide" you should find a few pages telling you what to look out for Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 You mean the one on gumtree ??? If so be very cautious if he's lied about the bhp what else is he gonna lie about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletSr? Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yer its the one on gumtree but my guess is they no fuck all about the car i wouldnt buy it stright away and i need to find out how much my insurance will change first too so it will be just to look at for now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danza V Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Just seen the ad, hardly any mods for that power.. be cautious buddy Ive been ripped off before and i wouldnt wish it on anyone!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Mileage is fine as long as its been looked after ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletSr? Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 All it has is a exhuast so i no the power will be pretty much standard lol but im not looking for a modded starlet im looking for a untouched oneI hope its been looked after Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Do a compression test mate! Would always recommend it on these engines which are known for ringland failure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mini1.3 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 i agree with AdamB compression test it check for blue smoke etc if your really want to buy it ask if you can take it to a local garage you trust and ask them to check it over for you as they will find every little problem and if he is a genuine seller he wont mind them checking it over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
templar2007 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I sold it buddy but there is a theat somewhere about miles on here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
