305s, disks and pads replaced about a year ago.

I know its not an economical repair if you pay to get it done thru a dealer, but it still runs on 5, so a rebuild may be possible. even if not a replacement engine is a possibility at 3K.

So if its 3K to buy, then 3K or even 4K to fix, the end result is a lovely GTA for 6 or 7K, admittedly on Cat D. For those that can live with a Cat D thats a decent car for the money IMO.

The car has full history, and is otherwise in great condition, so for someone this could be a good way into a cheap GTA.

Anyway I probably won't be able to get it for sensible money so its all academic really...
