I viewed a Williams today which sounded reasonable, as things go its not a bad car but does have some issues and I would like assistance with them before making a decision to drive 220 miles back to buy the car.
Plus points;
1. Had some panels replaced so no rust coming through as such
2. 107k miles - low for ages
3. cambelt replaced a year ago
4. 12 months mot
Bad bits
1. Boot replaced for one with no rust, the panel gap is around 1cm, just does't look right - he showed me the old boot he removed, is it easy to adjust this?, also has no gas lifters
2. Front bumper is wonky as if it's not sitting correctly at oneside - looks like something it mounts on might be broken or its been lightly bumped
3. Sterio is missing and wires look to have been messed around
4. Steering coloum has been removed before and is not sitting correctly in the way it's clipped back up/ looks very rough
5. Door cards have been badly cut for speakers to be fitted
6. Inside the boot there was wet in a patch under the carpet, not sure where it was getting in
7. Paint work was tatty all around but not a big issue as can be painted
8. Missing Headshield
9. few electrical issues - windows, gauges etc
Just something else I wanted to ask about is that the sub frame was white to look at when looking down behind the manifold, it looked very clean, I thought this would be black or could it have been replaced at some point?
Thanks for any help
