I have seen a felicia estate R reg face lift 1.3 GLI it drives well just wondering is there anything i should look for with the felicia ? how reliable is the 1.3 engine. the garage want

Thats way to much money for a Felicia.

Very reliable, it's carried over from the Favorit

Rust, mainly around the rear wheel arches, also on the tailgate

You'd be better off buying private,

Have a look at the dampers, check the platforms dont look too rusty.

Pull the boot carpet up to make sure its dry. A lot of cars seem to leak round the tailgate/rear window. Also make sure the temperature gauge moves to the 'normal' mark. If not the thermostat is knackered and the engine runs very cool - no heat and bad fuel consumption. As mentioned, it seems seriously overpriced.
