Yes but some people also buy, not realising they've bought junk. I have viewed 17 ftos since accidentally becoming an owner and I have only 1 of them was close to as expected. That's my own gpx (with sunroof
) My first one was a swap for a van job and had a few issues needing done, but was in reasonable nick. The second one I bought was from Gerry and it wasn't even the one I went to view! The one I went to view for breaking wasn't in great nick, but the one I bought from him was in good condition, save a couple of minor things. That's the one my brother is selling now. The red gx he bought is not in the condition you would expect either, but he is happy to put the work into it, because it's a newer car and has the quad exhaust as a bonus. The gpx atto bought recently: i viewed that too, but it was pretty shabby in a lot of areas. A gx i viewed in Rush was also in need of some serious work. They always look so much better in the photos and really need to be seen in the flesh to appreciate them.
@DanD : You will find it hard getting a manual gpx with the spec you are looking for, but if you're patient, something will come up. Do consider a gr, or gx though, because they are great machines too. The mivec still has a hold over me, but it fades with time and I wouldn't mind having a gr now if i'm completely honest. I have spent so much on the gpx that i have to keep it though. If you want to view the gr my bro has, just give me a shout.
