If not on the MFSW you'd have it on the indicator stalk.

3.) Tail pipes - if these are shiney, then you have someone who is likely to have looked after the bodywork. However dirty exhausts don't necessarily mean they don't you just need to pay that bit more attention when going over the condition of the bodywork.



Lol my exhaust pipes are horrible but I probably have some of the best condition paint on here.
 

Not a hard and fast rule by any means just a very general pointer for someone who is asking for tips. Obviously your motor would fall into the caveat i provided highlighted above in bold  :wink: and if he were to look at the condition of your pipes and think 'ey up!' it wouldn't take him long to fathom that the bodywork was immaculate  :happy2:

yes actually even my wife has the feeling of its the right car for us  :innocent:
cambelt was changed in 2010 at 30k miles though..managed to knock few for the tyres (currently sitting on vredestein ultrac sessanta) but not for the cambelt..


If cambelt was last done in 2010 then it would be due for replacement this year. Every 4 years or 40k-60k miles, so you should negotiate money off for that.  :happy2:
