    I just think £3500 is a lot when its done 100'000 miles.

    Dont want to be buying someone elses problems.
    doubt it mate! looks like its been well backed up and has service history and all receipts,so doubt you would be doing wrong with buying this! looks mint as well!

    Its will of had all the major jobs done to it now that ALWAYS go wrong between 70-80k. Condition is so much more important the mileage on these cars.

    Alright chaps! I bought it back in September and I've had no problems with it at all.
    But as i'm new to the Williams 3 I decided to get it checked out by Renault. They said they would do a 25 point inspection on it for free. They were only supposed to look at the car for an hour turned out to be 3 hours and they wrote a detailed report of what needs to be done.
    They said its the best they've seen and could not fault the engine. the report advised i changed the brake flexi hose NS and OS suspension mount. Suggested I get the oil changed as the service was due soon after i bought the car so i did everything they suggested. Like I said it drives very well better than 'clioworlds' as i drove his all the time and definately no whinning from the power steering.
    But i thought i was going to keep the car so I've spent loads on this recently.
    New parcel shelf - original was a bit perished
    Tax Disc holder (williams of ebay)
    New Seat Belt pretentioners £126.00
    New Number plates - both had rust on the bolt areas
    Spark plug cover - £15
    Garage costs £200 for oil changes, suspension and flexi hose
    Magnecor leads blue - £60
    Fuel filter - £15
    Rotor arm and distributor cap - £30
    Splitfire Plugs - £50
    K&N direct replacement filter - £50
    2 x New Key Fobs £20
    Mobil 1 - £70
    New tyres - £250

    Like i said nothing needs to be done - some lucky guy or gal
    can just drive it!
    If i could afford to keep both a williams 1 and a 3 i would.
    When i put the price in the trader I really didnt know what price to put.
    from your thoughts guys I will most probably make it a more realistic price.
    I've just spent soo many hours fixing lights / window runners / and rear wash wiper systems and now its mint i decide to sell it! there must be something wrong with me. But keep your comments rolling in good or bad.
    thanks
    Jason

    You'll get what your asking for it, don't alter your price. IMHO it's sensibly priced with all thats been done, especially if its rust free too.

    Theres no brown stuff on the Williams 3 that was the main reason I bought it chaps. Could see its been in careful hands.
