looking to buy a second hand 2005 RRS HSE 2.7d with 73 on the clock,

What should i look for and how expensive / reliable are these cars etc ?

All help very much appreciated as I prefer real owner details to the other scatterings over the net

Hi and welcome Well if you take time to troll through the many posts on this website you will probably end up being put off getting a RRS, they do have their faults but then again so do every other manufacturer, a full service history is a must, check to see if all if any recall's have been carried out, warranty is really advisable, if it doesn't have one already do a search on here to learn more on whats available, expect to pay around £700 a year, bodywork should still be good unless its been to war, check for the usual panal alignment colour match and overspray you sometimes get with bodged repairs, test drive, listen for knocks bangs etc on suspension (common fault) drivetrain listen for rumbling/grinding noises, oh and expect around 20mpg on a good day then you won't be posting back on here a week after you've bought it saying i'm only getting 20 mpg what wrong with my motor the book says i should be getting 22-23 mpg, black is very popular and most sort after silver not so much sort after but each to their own i say, i think ive covered most things, good luck.
