Morning folks, or is it afternoon?
I really like the look of the 3 door F1 and have pretty much decided on a 1.8 (yeah, I know). There's a GS local to me for sale for about £250 with 140k on the clock, 3 door, in black. And there's an ES (looks ES anyway) not too far away but it's 5 door but only has 60k on the clock...and it's gold. Now the 3 door has a snapped timing belt so will need the head off anyway...so that is factored in to the cost. Neither have a prop...though that is another factor. The 5 door has sailed through all MOTs since 2007 with only one fail for wipers and a bulb out. The 3 door has failed each year for who knows how long, but has subsequently been repaired and passed (MOTd until Sept).
Even though the spec is much better and the mileage much lower on the ES my heart still says the GS black 3 door. Am I mad?
