Do I Buy it? FRONTERA 2.2 Sport Olympus 3dr

[MUFFTRIX]

Hi all!

Just seen a local advert for a "2003 VAUXHALL FRONTERA 2.2 Sport Olympus 3dr"

from phone call (going to view tomorrow!)

it has 32k on clock last 3 years mot no history (lost in house decoration /tidy up?)

I can check VOSA for rest of mot`s and mileage so no worry there!

HPI comes back clear!

He wanting £2750 not negotiable as 12 months MOT and new tyres and only just advertised!

my only concern is the cam belt will obviously want replacing, and is the 2.2 engine in general worth having as this will blow my limited budget?

Any thoughts is the car worth price? and was the later 2.2 engine any better or just same problems as earlier ones?

Thank`s in advance

Rather expensive in my opinion, you could get a nice DTI for that money

As Ste says, its a bit expensive mate, especially with no history. That excuse for not having it, is a well used one too.

Thank`s for quick replies Yeh I know the service history thing not good, he did say it had 2 stamps but gone missing?

He has some receipts for the 3 years he owned it, sounds middle aged so not fly boy, and checked his address on google and not a council estate from hell ha-ha!

As you all say it is £££, but been looking for ages for minter which this looks? says totally unmarked in and out, plus bonus half leather heated seats etc.

Only thing by time had cam belt done going be over 3K, so getting into silly money so think will take all your advice and keep waiting till another comes along (trying in wanted section !)
