Newbie looking to buy 133 RS

[wab172uk]

Hi.

As per title, I'm looking to buy a 2009 133 RS. Car has 65k on the clock. Is there anything I need to look out for when buying?

Also, when does the Cambelt need changing? and how do I tell if the car has been fitted with the Cup Chassis, apart from the wheels which could have been retro fitted.

Thanks in advance

Wayne

5 years to be safe, purple dot on rear shocks for cup pack and general wear and tear like you'd find on most cars, service history etc.

Known problems that should've been fixed by now

Ball joint rubbers
Leaky scuttle panel

Welcome along. I agree with Universe, a five year old car with that milage on is looking at a new cambelt. If the seller claims it`s been changed, make sure they have paperwork to prove it. If it hasn`t been done, then I would consider getting it done sooner rather than later.

Thanks for the replies. What tyres should the car be wearing?

I know people change tyres, buy what car originally with the car?

Contis were fitted from the factory but you just want to be looking for a set of premium matching tyres usually the sign of a good owner
