Hi I've just been and looked at a Y plate 3.2 elite which is in great genuine condition with 85'000 on the clock full service history he wants £1700 . My only issue is the cambelt was done at 67'000 but done 5 years ago,I've read they should be 40'000 or 4 years what do you guys think? I've told him it should of been done really,not sure what to do she is a beauty.

[dbug]

Yep its every 40K miles or 4 years for cambelt kit changed on V6s

Belt needs doing - No question.

In terms of price - If it were pristine and fully loaded with Nav etc, then I'd still want a deal factoring in the cost of belt etc.

How much you talking 300 - 400?

How much you talking 300 - 400?

and the rest if you get it done by a dealer  see my thread in gen car chat.

definitely pay someone off here to d it but id say factor it in when nebotiating a price

negotiating even

Is there anyone in Devon area that would be interested if I did make a purchase? £1500 I was thinking of offering him bit said I'd get back to him.

It would be unfair to suggest how much to knock off the price as I don't know how much you are willing to do/spend/try yourself.

I don't want to influence your decision on buying the car, if that makes sense?

All I will say is, if it were me, I'd be looking closer to £1k for a properly sorted Y plate 3.2.  85k Mileage is low, but mileage isn't a major concern when looking at an over decade old car.

As I've always done in the past, if your heart and head says deal, make a deal.  If any doubt, walk away and something else will come up.

He's a proper boy he's owned it for 5-6 years obviuosly paid a lot of money and said 1900 to start with! Its a cracking car took it for a spin looked over all the paper work real genuine example im keen but 1500 is top money for me really

[biggriffin]

 what you have to factor in is the cost of the belt kit,water pump, coolent,and as your down that way full service,thats plugs, oil n air filter, oil, fuel filter o and possibility of brake pads so you wave a grand cash tops,start at £850,explain the above in a nice way and start  negotiations
 thats my out look on this

I think I would struggle to get it for 1500, I've got a mechanic said he will do the belt for me so price of a cambelt kit and bung him a few notes for his time.Other than that I kind of think its top end for a reason can't see any bad points .

As said, if your heart and head say yes, then do the deal!
