Just spotted this while browsing on EBAY. Not being that clued up on the 850s I wondered what the experts in here think. The car isn't that far away from me. Bargain or Bust?

Well..... theres a lovely HUGE kink in the intercooler top hose..... and the the front tyre/wheel has been put on back to front so the tread is going the wrong way..........
I would stay away as this car to me looks like the owner has no idea and bodges stuff. But thats me
I think this car has been discussed at length on other threads on here, so I'd have a look for them. I nearly went to view in when it was for sale in Scotland 3-4 months ago. Then it appeared in Cumbria and now Oxfordshire. Nice looking but I'd be careful.

I agree about the kink in the pipe, but the tyre is on the right way

nice car and you struggle to find any manual t5-r for sale let alone a gul
Without actually looking at it, very difficult to say. However, the chavifications always fill me with dismay. Possible moneypit. ABove all, IT'S GOT RUST!!! Rusty 850s have been ABUSED. It's certainly fairly rare, but I would say no more than £2k unlesss he ditches those tints, hids, deflectors, and so on. The rear bumper can be filled, but budget a couple of hundred for doing this, and he says it has evidence of other spray work. This car seems to have been round the block a few times, so I'm wondering what buyers are not liking? New rear shocks are SO NOT CHEAP if you are fitting Nivomats - but you could get away with a standard conversion or secondhand units. Mileage is high, no getting away from that, so lots of likely fixes needed in the suspension and running gear.
But as I often say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, they don't come up that often, and a thousand quid here or there is nothing if you were buying a new fiesta or similar. I'm afraid the days of low mileage minters is over, you may just need to buy it and refurbish. I know people like Gul T5R (I have sometimes wavered) but I have to say that I think the 850R manual is a better car - LSD, better ride and so on - and they are a bit cheaper and more plentiful at the moment.
And no, this T5R does not have 300bhp - but I think you knew that.
KISS Rs
850R manual, Rica 310, IKEA fitted bathroom, H&C running water, Jetex 2.5", pipe rack, cap stand, Forge BOV, circular wheels with full 360 degree rotation, 302mm discs, IPD front and rear anti-roll bars, numerous shiny features, sub-atomic particle accelerator, VTOL capability ...Volvo With Attitude!!!
Also to be seen in a gold Honda CR-V these days...
