Keep ATR or buy DC2?

Nice write-up. Are ATRs still that cheap? At those prices they must be a good long term bet. I thought about getting one after selling a Mercedes 190 16V. Seemed to be the same sort of philisophy - a mundane 4dr saloon tuned for outright fun.

Im not sure to be honest. Mine was up for £2k with 116,000 miles on the clock, and we agreed £1,800, the difference covering my collection costs as it was the other end of the country.

I had budgeted £2k-£3k so i could get a decent-ish one, so where i only paid £1,800 i spent a further £500 on a cambelt change, full service, an general maintenance check straight after collecting.

Worth checking the cambelt status as its an expensive job on these unless you DIY or have a friendly garage!
