   Hi. Title may be confusing.
   
   Basicly, im looking at two black vts.
   
   The first one is:
   
   65k miles.
   
   Standard except lowered about 50mm.
   
   £1500
   
   The second one is:
   
   70k miles
   
   Standard.
   
   £2500
   
   Now, you may think the choice is obvious... but i went to look at the first one (1500) and found these problems:
   
   - Missing front arch (drivers side)
   - Smashed foglight
   - Side skirt slighly falling off
   - Rear bumper where it connects to the back arch was a bit off, like wasnt connected right
   - Red springs, gmaxx?
   - Engine management light on, seller said they hit a speed bump which caused the light to come on, they got a new exhaust fitted but its now come back on? Any ideas?
   - No parcel shelf
   - Possibly no remote locking fobs? Maybe one key...
   
   And thats all ive noticed from looking at like exterior. Seems to run fine.
   
   It sounds like a lot but the paint seems alright and dents etc seem fine.
   
   Now, the question is, im looking at the £2500 tomorrow, its totally standard and looks mint from the pictures.
   
   Is it worth buying the standard one (if it is in mint) over the £1500?
   
   To me it just sounds alot better for the £2500 one >.>
