Can anybody help? I am going to buy a Fiesta Rs Turbo and am looking for some advice as to what to look out for. I know a good deal about cars but have never owned a Turbo'd one before! The Fiesta I have seen has recently had the camshaft replaced, does this tend to suggest a hard life? It has done 104k. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Fiestas rust badly especially around the petrol filler cap check this for a bad repair.
At 104k I would also bubget for a rebuild soon.
Cams are a common failure, and generally suggests that the oil hasnt been getting to the head as good as it should.
