The good points :
The car starts everytime.
Really reliable.
Engine is sound.
Why is it so cheap?
Here are two issues :
Auto gearbox has the following issue. When you start off the car lurches into first gear, then it drives off not as smooth as it should do, once moving though it goes through each gear very smoothly indeed. When driving the car is beautiful, the gears go up and down through the auto box really well. When you pull up to a stop say at lights the first gear sometimes lurches again onto the first gear, it does not do it all the time, I would say around 30% of driving.
I did take it to a transmission repair garage and they said without taking the garbox out, it's hard to pinpoint the issue, it could be the gear selector, and would be around 2k to replace, so it's not worth spending that money when the car is cheap and actually overall runs quite well.
The car was used to help me with a building project, running to the waste tip and building yatds, so it has lots of scratches outside and lots of grubby seats, including some paint stains and building materials on the seats and carpets - so it does look very worn.
