make sure the engine is ok

 

is it a 2.5ltr UK ??

check signs of head gasket

Temperature when warm should hardly vary up the road.

• Check dipstick, oil filler etc for signs of water/yucky brown sludge
• When engine Hot, leave car to stand, remove Expansion tank cap carefully
• How clean Expansion tank and water (look for signs of oil)
• Run engine with expansion Tank cap off
• Check water is not Bubbling up

Make sure no engine rattle

Also another common thing is rear suspension knock

IIRC IHMO

Tony.....is it a UK car?

 

15K it must be due an engine

about a grand off the Price

2.5ltr Uk or EU

hard to tell just by looks but if 18" wheels and has push button start most likely a Euro import but looks 17"s so 90% uk. to be fair by the web site the seem to know there onions

IMHO IIRC
