What 'mechanic' leaves it like that? It hasn;t even got a steering column/wheel to let you get it on a flipping trailer!

Going to view this tomorrow, anyone know of anything to look out for on these?

It wasn’t for me but it’s definitely worth a punt for someone on here, pretty much rot free and drives alright, atleast I think it does for one of these (steering and brakes felt a bit vague), obviously a world apart from what I’m used to with the Volvo and even the old Ibiza though. Lad said he’s quite flexible on the price..

Right, been to see this and gave it a test drive. 

It's rusty in all the usual 205 places, and there are many repairs to the outer sills and also the near side front inner wing and under the passenger footwell where the sub frame mounts. It's been done reasonably tidily but it's overplating so would need doing properly. 

The interior is damp as hell, the driver footwell is soaking wet and the headliner is sodden right at the back - suspect sunroof drain issues. 

The interior is in surprisingly good nick and all seems to work, there are a couple of dodgy looking giffer security switches though. 

The engine seemingly had no oil in it according to the dipstick, a check underneath showed it was mostly all under the engine! It's had a new radiator, coil and alternator recently. But the rest of it was pretty rank - the coolant bottle was disgusting and there was some mayo floating in the top of it. However, it's starts from cold happily and there are no nasty noises. I took it for a drive and it goes like hell - really quite surprised. The suspension is knackered though so the handling is quite wayward! 

But. It's got 500,000 miles on it. What do you expect?! It's a hell of a lot of work to get it back to good, but worth it to someone. 

Will I buy it? No, it's too gone for me. Should it be bought and saved? Yes. 

How much is it worth? 

£500 I rekkon.

Good effort for taking a look. Hopefully your info can help somebody else make an informed decision.

Surprising how different that is to mine inside, with the non-airbag wheel, basic dash and the column stalks the other way round.  It is rather nice I must say.
