Buying A Gt4..what To Look For?

[Nizan]

As some of you may know im selling my Yaris and am in the market for a UK spec st205 GT4, the deal with the yaris is almost complete so it is almost time to start looking for a GT4.

My queation is since i have no real knowlage of a GT4 am i right in thinking that i am best buying from a performance car specialist they come, serviced, checklist carried out, 1year MOT, HPI clear etc etc...can any of you reccomend anywhere which you have delt with in the past.

leeky has offered to come with me to look at a few but obviously i cant expect him to come look at every car, i know the bacics of what to look for when buying a second hand car but obviously being a GT4 its a bit more than any old car, what else should i be looking for I.E what fails the most or common problems found on the GT4.

Many thanks in advance

If Leeky is going with you dude then you wont buy a dud Lee knows far too much about the st205

Only thing I know to watch out for is the suspension on the st205 it uses the superstrut and after 64k it can start knocking it's about 500 per side to get fixed :!Removed!:

Good examples go from 8500 to 10k I think www.neweraimports.com may have one also www.fensport.co.uk have a couple for sale
