3.0 Advice Before i Buy Monday.

[Tudor]

Before i start WOW. I have seen my first SSRG today, full recaro interior, cruise control, sat nav, spoilers, metallic red, split rim alloys, looked excellent indoors. Drove it outside the dealers and the back end was a different colour to the rest of the car. Boo Hoo no longer the car for me (PANTS)

But i have found a nice ssrx 3.0 1993 L reg for £6600. All nice and tidy but on a test drive i was reversing down hill with full lock on turning round a corner when a metallic clunk was heardd from the front. The dealer said that was normal and it was the power steering lock catching the susension. Can this be right? The car is apart from that excellent, although i have had a 2.4 td before i have not heard that knock but again i have not had it reversing down hill on a full lock either .
