just about to purchase a Spider (1998)

...with 70,000 miles.

What should I look out for? - also, what needs to be done at the 72000 mile service? - I've heard it can be expensive.

Many thanks

J.

You have to / need someone to check the bushes in the suspension because they wear out very easily and the cambelt has to be replaced every 36k miles.

thanks - yes, I have asked the dealer to replace the cambelt. Also contacted the ex-owner who said the car was mechanicallt good.

Is the roof leaky?

I have a classic spider so we can't compare the roofs. However I have driven the current spider a couple of times and the roof wasn't leaking at all when it rained.
