Hi guy's, I have just joined the forum, but have followed you for some time and the collective knowledge is astounding. Here's where I come in for some honest sound advice.
I am going to have a look at a 2002 108,000 miles R230, it has just past an MOT and has advisories on the tyres, discs and exhaust. To pass the emissions must be ok, however the car had not been used for 4 years. It's been serviced, new batteries and I am told almost everything work, but I will check of course. The keyless go does not recognise the key, but reading here I have learned that leaving the key in the ignition in position 2 the car will again pair with the key. I am expecting to spend some quality money to bring it up to scratch, but my question is although it drives and is roadworthy could there be underlying issues that I would need to be aware of. The only reason why I am looking at buying a car as this is in my price range and because my darling wife has limited my spend and most importantly I want one so bad. Had R109's previously.
Thanks guys and I know the truth hurts so I am prepared.
