Where abouts on the Wirral are you? Although i dont spend much time there as i am in the Army and posted away, my partner lives in Bromborough and my parents in Pensby :) so i am normally about some weekend or when i've got some time on leave.

Is it local and what colour is it? There is a buyers guide on the site somewhere i think with all the things to look out for :) Get some pics up if you have any!

only thing is it says it's got the c pack but there wasn't a parcel shelf when I went to see it yday, so gonna try knock a bit off the price! needs like a new radio/cd player unit but that's it. yeah the service history seems good! got all the jap history too, not that I can read it haha! :D

Parcel shelf isn't part of the C-pack. The parcel shelf is an optional extra just like wind deflectors are.

Looks a nice car though.

Welcome.

Yep - but like i say, its pretty rare im over that way as im normally around bromborough at my fiance's place when im on leave or back for a weekend. Im not a regular in the Heswall area anymore. Used to be in my old E30 325 (also white) as i used to drive to/from work from home everyday.

I know that there was a guy who owned a take away up past where M&S is now...and he owned a blue DC5. Never saw a white one in Heswall though tbh.

I'm about 4 miles from you - would be good having a fellow DC5 owner around the corner! The car looks really nice - good luck and hopefully you'll seal the deal. Must be a few of us on the Wirral now :xgrin: although I have only ever seen chrex sweet champ white DC5 around these parts. Hope it works out for you.
