I thought the SE was a 2005 model to get shot of all the older models before the 2006 version came in.

hi chris

it's a very bad advert...... u r right, the se was 2005

this is a nera, which is a limited edition 2007 car ( for the paris motor show) so 2009 is not even correct..

guy doesn;t know what he has got, though i also think amari car is way overpriced, as no mechanical changes for the nera, just comestic and specs....

Evolution own a hire car company...and being in Bradford I would assume this car has had a hard life being abused by "bad boyz" at Asian weddings.

Obviously I don't know the history of the car and I may be wrong...but be careful.

I noticed that car today and thought it was good money for 2009 but maybe its priced to sell and there are errors in the ad. Top spec by the look of it with camara etc.

Dont rule out that it could be the same car as Amari has. Amari offers SOR and Bradford and Preston are pretty close.

At 'least' its got a new clutch but mine had 30% wear at 10.5k miles and this one has had a new one by 14k? I didnt know weddings has such an effect on your clutch!

all a bit farcical....

got return call from dealer, ad is wrong, price should be 99k!!! also 2008 o8 car.
maybe he checked PH today and then realised amari had a nera also.....

not interested at 99k..... as no mechanical mods, at 88 it was a steal...

but for those that are, car is not from their hire company but on sale from a private customer

Think about this. A near £100,000 car in one of the most socially deprived areas of the country ? Whilst I wouldnt for a moment wish to cast any aspersions about this particular Firm, there are a number of similar companies in and around the Bradford area supplying such cars, which from my experience of (prevously) living in Bradford is entirely out of synch with the demographics ability to buy & run such cars.

Ofcourse though.......there are a few "growth" indstries which may explain the large amount of funds circulating that once proud City..........

hi mate,

if this was 88K i was going to buy a 'black' car 'cos of the spec and interior.....almost let the side down, then the price rejig was a reality check!

just had dick on the phone about the black sl, so not sold then.... if it was orange, i'd have bit their hand off, but in black, it just looks like a g with a big spoiler, except to the people who know... for 122 would i want a black stealth bomber? not sure....

its the old saying though, the rich get richer..... scattered amongst the billions of poor people in china are some seriously rich dudes! there are probably a few entrapaneours out there.... and some will rather have a posh car than a nice house....

we have traveller funerals in the church by our house, and once i drove home past 2 phantoms, and more range rovers than i'd care to see....

love the sign in the distance in picture 4, very bentley!

^^^ 70proof. Your faith in Society is touching, though I fear in this instance it may be misplaced. Alternatively if by "entrepreneur" you mean someone who conducts his business from the front seat of his BMW 3 series whilst having multiple mobile 'phones constantly ringing with "orders" for fresh supplues, then who am I to argue ?

I would stay away from this. Evolution hasn't got the best reputation and as said previously has probably been run ragged by asian youths.
