Can someone help me look at a car
Hello
I am currently on the hunt for my dream Rover 75 and after many months of searching I think I have found what I'm looking for. But the problem is the car is in the Dorset/hampshire area and is about a 6/7 hour journey by train (or an hour by plane) from me so I was wondering if any members in that area would be able to take a look. I will pay for any fuel cost and money for a deposit and owe you an eternal debt of gratitude. Cheers

It would be a huge help if you could tell us where the car is. Somewhere in the South of England at a rough guess: that's a big area though. Given the town/city nearest then you'll be much more likely to get a positive response.

Looking at it, I'd say you've not missed out badly. Looks pretty poorly maintained cosmetically. Very scuffed bumper, wheels that still look grubby despite it being washed, not very shiny paint, grubby interior, etc. If they've not bothered cleaning it, I wonder if they'd done anything.
Been for sale for about four months, too!

Hi Jay -
Was it the spec or colour that drew you to the car. That way we can all keep an eye out. I do echo Frazlee's comments but as a Newbie I wasn't brave enough to say ... Jez |

I was smarter this time than my last purchase to find someone to help me look at the car first! Oh well.

Quite fancied an auto, and it was well loaded. Would have needed a closer look, and as mentioned, had a grubby interior. Why they didn't give that a clean God only knows. |
