Some advice

[Jameschillman]

Hello,

Im currently looking at this S2 http://bit.ly/a2J3rI The car has always been serviced at an independent garage so the owner is unsure if its had its class C service etc. Im hoping to look at it in the next few days, Anyone have any pointers to look at on a car of this age?

The A, B C servicing schedule applies to Rover engined cars. The Toyota is based on annual or 9000 mile service intervals with extras at 27,000 and 54,000 miles. More info here...

Looks like a nice car. All the usual caveats would apply as with any car. Check or accident damage and buy on condition.

Just because it's been done at an Indy shouldn't mean no records, there should be receipts in line with recommended service intervals. I wouldn't touch it if it doesn't have this personally, but if he's kept his records should be no problem

Its all in the book and has been serviced by the same person for the life of the car. Ahh ok I misread the bit on servicing :$

It still effectively works out as AABAAC though Or if you don't want letters, 9k, 9k, 27k, 9k, 9k, 54k, 9k, 9k, 27k service etc. etc.

get an ECU read out see if it's been buzzed, with 70k on it could be nackered.
but if the ECU print out reads ok you should be fine.
