Opinions on this car - good price or not?

Looks in very good condition.

And does this one come with the LSD?

Thanks

I hate it when they say that. So misinformed.

The fact you can't do massive powerslides in Tesco's car park when it's wet?

Been window shopping somewhat lately and noticed the same Eunos jibe on an ad they had for an S-VT. Mostly, though, I was just thinking how good this looks with the hard top on:

Do quite want.

My car is more expensive, less well equipped and more likely to rust. Please buy my car.

Thanks for all the replies so far guys.

Chris71 - that is a cracker - however it seems quite expensive and is at the very top end of my budget - is it that price due to the hardtop? Was looking more around the 4k (4.5k tops).

That's the same model I've got. There is indeed no LSD, I've still managed to have some fun sideways moments without one!

It's not top spec, unless I've mis-read the advert it hasn't got heated leather seats which were an option. Looks ok under the bonnet, some 2003 models I looked at were already rusting under the bonnet, but you'd still need to check it carefully for any rust. It should really have had it's cambelt changed based on age but it wouldn't be due on miles yet so may well need to be done at next service. Mine also snapped it's alternator belt a few months after I got it, had done about 10k more miles than the car for sale. Also be aware 16" tyres do cost a fair bit more than 15" tyres, tho if you're looking at Sports I think they're on 16" tyres also.

I bought mine almost 12 months ago, price is depressingly less than I paid and mine had done a few more miles! For the supposed security of dealership warranty the price looks fair enough for me. Mine snapped it's alternator belt few weeks after the dealer's warranty ended but was less than £100 to sort so wasn't too big a loss.
