T5's are generally great cars, quite often thrashed though.

Seems a low price even for the high miles, check the head gasket isn't on the way out and they've decided to get shut!

that would be just my luck :(
rover 214 which had a reputation for head gaskets going but mine never did
supra turbo with a suspected head gasket on its way
now the car i really quite fancy may have a head gasket problem

are there any head gasket proof cars around? :lol:

it does seem odd to state that it is not an ex police car as if an ex police car would put people off. i would rather it was myself. high miles dont worry me but at least it would be well maintained
