This is the limit of my budget £12000 how does this S2 look ?

Its a nice spec car, and looks very good value - I once bought a 70k mile S2 and it really didnt need much doing to it, it drove very well, better in fact than a 30k mile s1 I used to have. So dont be put off by the mileage. If it has a full history and list of what has and hasnt been replaced that would help. Its coming into buyers season (winter) so there will be more deals to be had.....

Looks cool, get it checked over properly, HPI'd and if all checks out it could be a good little buy that.

Very nice, if slightly high on the miles for the price. Check when the next C service is due though as that'll set you back a few quid. Mentions Cam Bel and A service which is all very healthy and good news.

Do those side pods actually significantly aid in cooling the engine?

a daily runner thats been serviced right and had all the right bits sorted is more likley to be reliable and ultimatly cost less in the first 12 months of ownership than a car thats low milage and been sat in a garage most of its life.

I found that out the expensive way with a low milage garage queen of a second hand 911, 10 grand to put it right and 12 months later, it was fine.

Did a Hpi and all was and is clear. The a service is due now and he says its booked in to Christopher Neils ,So going to try and get to look at it over the weekend.

might be worth seeing in CN can do a pre purchase type inspection at the same time. you may have to pay for an hout or half hour or something but whilst theyre looking at the car for the service they coukd check for any 'suprises'
