I thought i might... Your statement does confirm what i thought.

I'm guessing it may have more hidden issues than just a water leak?


Edited to add: Seems they don't want time wasters... hehe

If engine is broken then costs between £2K and £7K to fix.
It is listed as CAT D and so I guess this knocks a third off the value.
IF it needs welding etc then this could cost £2K ish.
If the interior / electronics are stuffed from water ingress then this could cost heaps!
So it might not be a bargain. You can buy a good un for £9K ?

"water leak due to snapped bolt in the head" - so the engine will need... what, a total rebuild?

Sure does not look like a cherished example of the breed..

Guess it's priced to sell and at least they are being honest about the problems.

sadly

It is probably worth more than that as spare parts...

And probably not cost effective to put everything right, ie cost more than any resale value.
