Hello. I think this is the best place for some advice & appreciated in advance.
I am currently in the market for a 2 seat sports car aiming at a Cayman 981 S. However, I have taken quite some interest in the F-Type V6S as an alternative to the Cayman, as it is less common & feels/looks more special(IMO). Above all, it really does look to be so much more value at certain prices.
Now, I have seen a 2015 white F-Type convertible(I prefer a Coupe, especially for the boot space for road trips) with red leather interior. Very well equipped with Sports heated memory seats, Meridian sound, front/rear parking + rear camera etc at 36000 miles for the price of £25K. That seems like a lot of car for the money.
It does have some touches that need attention, like the HVAC controls have lost parts of the silver trim/some scratches, a worn start-stop button, driver's side bolster needs some love(not torn & the rest of the leathers are fine) etc. which maybe you can guide me for replacements. Will definitely want to replace the media screen with a 10.25" CarPlay/Android Auto.
But, my main issue with UK cars is the unfortunate amount of rusted components of the undercarriage, which here in Malta cars don't suffer. So, if the time comes to sell, will be a deterrent.
I know certain braces etc can be removed. What do you suggest can be done to eliminate the rust around most of the components; are there any chemicals that can brake down the rust properly & then treat accordingly to keep rust away? I know Lanoguard helps prevent rust but first the rust needs to be eliminated.
BTW, if anyone has anything around that price, I'd love to hear from you!
Cheers, Maurice.
