Hello to you copenfan! Welcome to the forum, you're certainly at the right place for help and advice for all things Copen. Wishing you all the very best of luck in your new and exciting project. Cheers! PhillandLin.
Hi Copenfan, welcome to Copenworld. All you need to know when buying is in the guide. Essentially always go for the car with a great service history.
thanks for the welcome folks, ill spend some time looking through previous posts to find any answers i need, I will post when i find a car that looks ok, btw is there anywhere else than ebay and auto trader so look for a copen? thanks
Hi Copenfan. Welcome. I am far from an expert but the 2 things I wish I had known about before buying are......RUST Look for rust in wings and cills. Service history.......with an oil change needed VERY regularly (every 3000 miles on the 650cc), a good service history is a VERY good idea. The turbo is delicate and need to be looked after. This forum has a great number of very able contributors and you have made a good decision to enquire before buying. I bought in a hurry and was lucky.. Would I recommend a Copen? ABSOFLIPPINLUTLEY.......Enjoy. Oh. and where to look?....try gumtree.
Hi Copenfan Preloved is also worth a look. There's usually a few on there (although some of them are also on ebay). Good luck in your search.
