Have a look on GTOUK - there is a list of people who can go and have a proper look at it with you free of charge. There is a good buyers guide as well. There are quite a few things to look for on these and it may save you a packet.

Hope you get one though - I love mine with a vengeance!

That's a lot of car for very little wedge.

Big buggers though - more GT than sports imo. Wonder what they're like on track/twisties? Less than 300bhp too, won't be fast off the line but should shift later on.

And get a datalogging kit, remove a small grommet from the engine and instant power increase! Although I'm not sure how much, allegedly takes it up to the 320BHP the 3000GT has but it is debatable.
