Have a test drive. Don't be fobbed off with a quick drive round the block. Get it warmed up. Have a look at the seatbelt labels and check the date on them, as it is a good clue to the year of manufacture. If you are still happy with everything, tell the dealer you want a BIMTA check done.

.......................... good luck.

Really check the bodywork too. mine seemed to good to be true and bought it with ma "noo jeep" goggles on, has some minor body repairs and i'm annoyed i didn't spot at the start!! my dad always washes a car before he buys it, i thought he was bonkers but hes never bought a dud!!

Oh yes! Thats when you find all the bits you missed, 100% sure of that!!! But it must look a bit bonkers doing it!

Well I`m definately happy with the bargin I bought. It`s the one below, `N`reg 95 SSR_G spec and I paid £4000. No sunroof but it does have cruise control and recaro interior. I believe it to be a Northern model with extra thick carpets and an idle up button...... until i stand corrected.

Makes yours looks over-priced slightly but mine has got 20k more miles than yours!! I`d say you`ll be able to find a lot cheaper one. Even a `G`spec model if thats what your after. I got mine from a dealer too so if you went private you can sometimes pick them up a lot cheaper. I`ve got some examples I saved due to the fact I`ve been seaching just lately. I`ll send you some if you want me too? Just let me know.

Does make you wonder why it has been sitting on his forecourt for several months unsold!! 2 reasons for that..... its either a shed or its over-priced. OK OK or there hasn`t been anyone wanting to buy a Surf!! Yeah right LOL

Just remembered, I know where I can get a `SSR-G`spec 94 Black for £4200. And only 60,000 miles!! I test drove it and would`ve had it if my one hadn`t cropped up. I`ll dig out the number if you want. He originally advertised it for £4995 but with a bit of persuasion agreed £4k. Worth a thought depending on your locality.
