Hi all, firstly Im new here, Ive been reading up on the IS200 on here for a couple of days now.Chris.S directed me here from another site if you must know.
Basically Im thinking about buying an IS200 for my next car, I currently drive a modified Golf TDi.
Is there anything I should look for in particular when buying one? What sort of mileage is recommended?
I have about £8,000 to spend give or take so I guess I'll be looking at 1999/2000 models with that budget.
Another concern I have is that I will get bored with the performance pretty quickly as my golf actually does 0-60 quicker than a standard IS200. I read that supercharging is the only real worthwile method to give significant gains short of a turbo conversion (too expensive for me!).So, ideally Id like to buy one that is already charged but obviously this will be reflected in the price.Are there any issues I should check for when buying a car that has already been charged?
Sorry for all the confusing questions Im just after some general advice being as I know little about these cars or petrol engines for that matter haha.
Cheers, Rik.
P.S. whats the difference between the S,SE and sport models?
