I'm considering buy a series II VE Calais (built 2011) to replace my missus's little Accent which is about to give up the ghost. I saw one for private sale... 98,000 kay on the ODO, clean as a whistle and the services all recorded in the service book. Because I've heard horror stories about the VE and timing chain issues, etc... I am a bit worried about taking one on but the condition of this one is really lovely and it has a nice colour as well. I've done the normal checks; trans oil colour, oil colour on the dipstick, checking for noise on a cold start...everything seems okay. Any opinions would be gratefully appreciated.
