I may be able to enlighten you on that as it was last bought by a Facebook friendvthat bought it
when he picked the car up he took it to a garage to have it checked over and the mechanic said it needed 2500 quids worth of work doing just to get it through an mot. aparantly all the floors rotten sills have gone and it also needs oil pump power steering pump and loads of other bits
The kid who bought it paid 2600 for it and then had the costs of shipping the car 4hrs home then 4hrs back when he said he didn't want it and the seller would only return 1500 of the 2600 paid. Me personally would have kicked his teeth down his throught if he said that he was keeping 1100 aftehe told me to return it

No its not mine, but I was tempted on first listing. Sounds like one to steer clear of!

Im going to have a look at it tomorrow as its only 15 miles from me. Im mainly going to look on behalf of another member. I will report back what the car car is really like as a lot of the information Ive had just does not add up.

First things first I do not want to cause any arguements or be involved in one.

I went to look at the car today. The car is exactly as the seller describes. There are two small rust patches, the ram seal has gone in the transfer box, this is due to it being lowered at least 40mm and no camber correction kit fitted, It needs new raer discs and pads, tracking sorting as pulls to the right. The parts the seller included in the sale will easiky sort this car out and the two small rust oatches sorting. Theres a few small bits like blown passenger door card , cracked dash and slight leak from rocker cover gasket (all usual things that you find on some Calibras) but nithing that can't easiky be sorted.

As for being sold before. It wasn't from waht I saw the car hasn't moved for at least a couple of months judging by all the cobwebs and leaves on it, around it and under it. The V5 hasn't been filled out or changed name/ address which you would have done if it was sold. Seller has had it cor 5 years and V5 proves it with no change of address in that time.

Personally if I had the sapce and didn't want an SE5 then I would of had it. Its now sold and going to a good home.
