Hey All - looking for a bit of advice from your collective brains...
My mum has been totally bitten by the RCZ bug... and I have offered to help her buy one... I am looking at two today, all 156bhp. The requirement is (as it always is!!) to buy the most reliable one I can find...
My options are:
2011 70k on the clock, one owner fsh- trade sale looks ok, alloys a bit scratched.. going for a test drive today
2010 50k on the clock, 2 owners fsh. trade sale.. haven't seen this one yet
2013 30k on the clock 4 owners, not been driven for a few years, unknown service history - and its had advisories on the breaks on the past three MOTs that haven't been sorted. Current owner not driven it far..... also not seen this one
I'm torn between either of the first two and the last one... for the 2013 the four owners puts me off, and the fact that the advisories haven't been sorted. the current owner hasn't driven it very far (less that 1,000 miles in 3 years )... but its cheap..... and could spend the extra getting the work done... The 2011 one has been sitting on the forecourt for 6 months.... but the one owner makes me think that it has been more loved.....
Please could someone who knows the car be kind enough to give their opinion? I'm test driving the 2010 and 2011 ones today...
Thanks so much in advance!
