Hi

Just a quick one, is £5400 for a '06 159 sportwagon 56K miles with warranty and full service history too good to be true?

Thanks

sounds about right or slightly cheap for a diesel

Thank you, it's a private sale, petrol 2.2 JTS sportwagon, dealer prices must be off by miles where I'm from.

Its about right for a petrol, not the easiest thing to sell, we wouldnt buy it for stock.

It's not a bad price for a private sale, trade would be around £4500. I saw the car on Auto Trader last week and had a twitch as to whether to buy for it for stock but as stated above we really struggle to sell 2.2 159s, 1.9 JTD more saleable but then again wouldn't be this cheap. Might be worth a punt , petrol may be more desirable in the future.

Yes if you don't go mad. I used to be able to get 30mpg on a long run in mine, 27 to 28 on my daily commute, which was 40 miles mixed motorway and back roads.

Bloody lovely car GTA Wagons!
