Hi all, looking for a bit of advise please. I'm going to look at a white RCZ 156 GT on Wednesday. Registered Nov 13, 14k miles on clock. Is there anything in particular I should be looking out for (potential issues etc)? I believe the car is in great condition with only 1 previous owner. Really love these cars but want to be focused when I go to dealership to view!! Many thanks, Lou

:greetings-wavingblue: Welcome :text-welcomewave:

So, Nov 13 should be a phase 2 RCZ, so a few of the more common issues should really not affect this car. Ones to look for - sills, look underneath around the jacking points, the RCZ has jacking points made from cheese, and the tend to bend very easily so that might be something you need resolving before purchase.

Check all the electrics out, the RCZ sometimes has water ingress in the electronic boot lock, this can manifest itself in weird and wonderful ways around the cars electrics, affecting various and random items.

The majority of "common" faults you might see on these pages do tend to affect the mk(phase)1 far more than the phase 2 so you needn't really worry about most of them.

The phase 2 did have a "notice" rather than a recall for front strut mountings replacing with modified versions, so this will have more than likely been done if it has been into official Pug dealers during its life.

There really aren't that many things to worry about with the RCZ, and anything there is, is certainly outweighed by the looks/performance/handling/drive ability of this wonderful car.

I have yet to know of anyone who has regretted owning a. Beautiful Z.
