Wanted to know from the people who know. Is a calibra a good buy. When i say this i mean for finding spares,servicing and general maintenance of the vehicle. I love the car, but im thinking from a PRACTICAL point of view. Please let me know what you guys think.

GOOD BUY OR NOT? http://capetown-westerncape.gumtree.co. ... Z356817588It could be a potentially good buy, but im very skeptical of the words TLC.......Unless you can get a 2nd hand windscreen (Ebay could be a good place to start) be prepared to pay for a new one. The engine looks a abit dirty so either the car was worked on alot or the owner didnt take care of the bay properly, in the left top corner seems like a bit of rust going on there. Interior wise im happy or i cant really say happy because majority of the gumtree ads the camera lies quite alot. In total i would say another 15-20k to get everything in order. If you willing to spend on the car it would be a good buy, but if you browse abit more you will find ones say for 38K which is more or less the total of the expenditure of this one. _________________ 0kw 0Nm

This car has been for sale for awhile, I always worry when a car takes long to sell.
