Paulus3476 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Price is very dependant on which st185, uk gt4 or carlos sainz ltd edition, or an import - the values vary quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Chris_ Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Edited highlights in case it's in time. 1. - headgasket - the standard car has a paper gasket which is prone to failure if boost is increased. Check the coolant very carefully for signs - nasty rusty smell, anything but good clean coolant should ring alarm bells. Not a massive job to change if you're a competent mechanic, but a garage bill for this will write off a 185 (many have been lost to this) 2. - rusty sills, especially a sunroof model as these drain into the sills.
