Hi guys...what's your thoughts on this 2005 model?

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/m...

Is there anything that can go badly wrong on a car of this age? Would I be better spending more on a newer example or does the low mileage of the car above level things out in terms of risk?

I'm used to buying new so a second hand purchase - especially for a high performance car - makes me a tad nervous. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks Don - I called today and was offered a good trade in price against one of their Evos. The wife is proving harder to convince due to the high tax and poor economy lol

Hi Don, recently found out it doesn't have a reach adjustable steering wheel. I'm 6 foot 4 and would need my seat quite a bit back due to my long legs so driving position could be an issue if I can't bring the wheel closer to me.

I know, tbh I wouldn't like to get rid of the airbag but I was pretty disappointed to find out it adjusts for rake only...back to the drawing board!
