Is it just me, or does this seem cheap?

I'd be carefully checking the history of that one :dozey:

It does seem cheap, then a car will only sell for what someone is prepared to pay for it. The gift of the VR4, its scarcity, is also its curse...if it was an import with no Jap service history, then 7k is a better price. Factor in the cost of replacing both the 'box and the AYC pump (worse case scenario) in your calculations.

Good Luck!

Yes, I was concerned that perhaps the price was too good.

Any idea how much these jobs might cost.

Thanks

You really dont want to know!!! Athough for about £400 you can get a warranty on the car and Mitsubishi will then be liable! :D

BDA is right! The price is not pretty (roughly 2.5k for the AYC pump and 3k for the transmission). I am not sure about Red Zebra Warranties and cars with no previous service history. I imagine they do an inspection on the car and pass it fit to be warrantied. As always with these things, ask first!

The price is lower than than my first VR4 was sold on for, with an identical mileage and spec but it was a UK car with FMSH.
