Can I borrow 2 grand ?

Only joking, thanks for your help, its much appreciated

Have had an email from a guy via the forum, reasonably local to me selling a Sprint Blue
20VT, 92,000 miles but it had a new engine 20k ago along with a hybrid turbo, 10 grands worth of receipts with it and he seems open to offers, no actual price has been forthcoming but he has said it needs tax and MOT soon, plus it had a spoiler on which has been removed and needs the holes filling, otherwise it sounds ok and the fact he has told me what needs doing bodes well. It has a tan leather interior, would have preffered black but it might be quite nice. He says he needs something more economical as he is doing a 200 mile round trip to Birmingham.

I sort of understand what a hybrid turbo is, i.e. bits of different turbos mated together to alter the characteristics for higher boost or quicker spool up but on a standard car would it make any difference ?.

Might be worth a look, reading his post he's looking for 5k, might want to ask why it has had a new engine 20k ago, if it was him that changed it does he cane the engine all the time and what is this engine going to run like?
Personally I wouldn't have the tan interior but that's just me you might love it!
Just give it a good checking over and ask lots of questions.
Checked down the sides of the sofa and so far not found any cash for you but I'll keep on looking!!!

It had the new engine because the oil cooler failed, have had email saying four and a half grand but it needs tax/mot and a couple of other little bits, I reckon I could get it a little cheaper.
