Here's my buyer's guide. The rest of the site should give you a good background on the cars and the gallery may give you some ideas of what sort of Chim you might like.

Have a dig around this forum too, loads of useful info to be had.

Basically condition is everything!

Yes and no.
Upon examining a potential purchase, you can negotiate the asking price down more than it would cost you to replenish whatever's necessary to bring a car of that age up to scratch

In theory yes but that assumes that you can assess the costs accurately. For example you might think that rotten outrigger would cost two grand to fix and so negotiate on that. However it might end up being nearer 3, you'd have to factor in time, travel costs & hassle.

That said it might only cost a grand in which case you're quids in.

For my first Chim I'd rather get a sorted one.
