Not a taxi driver, so sorry if this post isn't welcome.
I'm thinking of buying a TX1 for personal use.. Am I mad?
Is rusting very bad.. Are things such as central locking / electrics ever a problem?
Are mechanics bills huge?

All help appreciated.
Currently looking at a version of 2002 Golden Jubilee TX2 with Nissan engine now fitted.

Cheers.. It doesn't seem too bad.. However central locking seems to not be working..
Guessing this might be an expensive problem?

as usual central locking is one of most important things in cars... especialy old and rusty cars...
