Questions on buying a VR-4

[jam-gt]

I am planning to buy a Legnum VR-4 and I was wondering what are the service intervals on these cars, average cost of a service, mpg when driven steady, how often is it due a big service like timing belt etc. What is the most common parts to fail on them and are they expensive for spares. Was just wondering before I spent money on one.

There's loads of info on that subject mate.

A good start is the Buyer's guide:

Then, have a search around - Terms like MPG, Insurance, Service and common faults should yield good results!

Which bit. There are a few VR4's up here ?

Hi Peter, I live in Alness, about 30 miles north of Inverness. I was planning going down to Yorkshire to look at one in Jap Performance UK does anyone know how good they are to deal with.

Jam,

There are a couple of good members cars that have just come on the market, may be better condition than any garage could sell on.

This the link?

Have to agree that looks a very tidy example and at a realistic price.
Don't overlook members cars though there's few to choose from.

[Rambaud]

Yes, it does look a tidy example. Price is a bit high, but it's the low (relatively) mileage which may be bumping it up? Personally, low mileage (for an old) car is over-rated, and I would not pay a premium for it.

White would make it a non-starter for me. :(

[jam-gt]

hi Miller, yeah thats the one I was thinking of looking at.

[elnevio]

Looks a really nice example. Price is definitely worth it if the cambelt service has been done.
