I've just agreed to buy one of these site unseen apart from a few pics.
Requires a bit of cosmetic work but all in all should be good.
I can't find much info on them really. It's a 2006 auto.
What should I expect from it?
What kit was standard etc
If it turns out to be nice might keep it for the Mrs

We missed out on one as the dealer wouldn't let us go and see unless we put down a deposit (refundable). Seemed genuine, but never dealt that way before.
Ended up with a 160 - bit different !!! Had two years now.
Air-con - seems to be a possible issue. Key kit is situated low down behind the bumpers from what I understand - seems to lead to damage / weaknesses. Our 2010 car was re-filled when we got it and the system was almost empty of oil. And the guy had done another similar one the week before.
CVT - needs to have had the oil changed on the button to be safe. Especially on this model.
Older models can also be prone to rust in the lower door seams - not common - but an area to check.
