Never been a massive fan of the Maestro, but this one is slightly tempting.

MOT history is good.

No thx.

Discounting rot, that's not that bad it just depends how easy it is to get parts for them.  You'd have to go in with a heavy duty rust poking stick before handing over any money obvz.

Not just obtaining the parts, but fitting them too.

@Tickman had a right war fitting a rear strut to that 147 he bought off me, and he's fairly competent and owns a 4-post lift! The strut itself wasn't particularly cheap either, IIRC.

I think Alfa suspension is normally crazy at the rear the fronts tend to be normal ish. That's coming from someone who took 2 weeks to remove the front strut from my Megane though so I wouldn't listen to me.

You really don't. I can't stand the normally aspirated 2ltr engine. It feels gutless but then I was used to a 2ltr twin turbo at that point and it was fitted to a Gen 3 Legacy which is heavier than an Impreza.

I’ve just bought it…..

Another cheap, small auto, that needs brakes....

You know, I was going to send you this earlier on today, looks like it's away now (I haven't bought it). I could tell you for a fact that the EML is probably to do with the blown exhaust as these 1.4s sometimes get arsey about the exhaust and the lambda shite.

I know this is usually said in irony, but this Rover 45 literally gets worse the more photos you look at on the advert....

First up, supermarket car park. Uh oh! Also; what's going on with the rear wiper?!

Second, erm, why is the front end about fifty shades of purple, the lower grille painted salmon pink, the upper grille black and the wipers parked as they are!?

Third, the donuts in the background. Must have been trying to unleash the 101 raging* ponies..

Fourth, the fuel prices :(

Fifth, let's zoom into the seller's reflection...

Just two singular legs. Yeah, that's not a human...

Sixth, white window trims. Horrible

Seventh, those seat covers 😨

Eighth - the red stripe on the tachometer. Probably installed when they realized it didn't have a Honda engine m8. See also; donuts in the car park and unleashing ponies

Last but not least, whatever the fuck is going on in those footwells!

With 3 days MOT, it can be yours for £690 of the queen's finest folding...

Think I'll be giving this one a swerve!

So that's where the door mat from my Gran's old Abbey caravan went!
