sounds very expensive to me ....

What do you think is a good price then? I've checked some websites and they vary so much, its hard to know. The parker guide says 42.5k, but thats without warranty, service and cam belt change.

42.5k is what i sold mine for 2 yrs ago. if the services arent included in sale price, the car should be even cheaper. warrnntty is of little practical use if something majors goes .

Too expensive. If its in excellent condition with everything done I would say £43k ish. From memory Nick Cartwright have/recently had a lower mileage car for less and it was recently sorted out.

The company with the 355 you mention always overprice their stock IMO. Told me a couple of weeks ago that you cant buy a red 360 under £60k - dont know what market they have been looking at!!!

For the same money, this is a much better deal (also has recent cambelts, clutch etc):
