Car hunting...advice please on one i have found

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/adv...?logcode=p

Seller said they was genuine landrover 22" wheels and cost around £5000 which is obviously nonsense, but anyone know what wheels they are?

I don't really like the black on grey look, but if I got a good deal on the car I would look to sell them on if they was worth anything.

Seems a good price for the car which has made me a little weary but i'm going to look at it this evening.

Landrover don't do 22in alloys Wink be aware be very aware - they look like stormers which are known to crack / split because they are replicas & not weight rated Rolling Eyes I had them on my RRS when first purchased 3 split Big Cry 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Yeah i'm not convinced on the wheels at all but like i said if i got it for a good price then i would have some extra cash to get some genuine wheels.

I've never bought a car private before, anyone got any tips to make sure everything is in order? I don't want to get pulled over next week and have the car taken away Smile

I've also look at this one which i've managed to haggle to £18,200 over the phone, seems very genuine on the phone and says everything is absolutely mint condition...looking at it tomorrow.

Didn't even notice that to be honest, how hard would it be to restore them?

I'm no expert but I'd say no chance to make it look original. New ones would be required. The same for the trims at the bottom of the doors but I personally don't mind that. Everyone has different taste.

Shocked The lower door mouldings have also been painted but not the lower bumpers - second one for me Thumbs Up lower mileage - totally standard with subtle mods - side steps & mud-flaps - not a lover of the wood interior or the light guards it also has ACC Thumbs Up

About £150 to replace all 4 pillar posts - with genuine parts - easy to do but clips would need replacing most likely Crying or Very sad 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Thanks for the pointers!

I do prefer the grey colour to the light blue, but the lower mileage and untouched look on the other one does makes more sense.

I'm assuming you can replace the wood trim with say silver / piano black if I wanted to?

Went to see the first one, could tell instantly it wasn't cared for so walked away after 5 minutes.

This is harder than i thought Mad
