We took one in as a trade car around 4 years ago, a Kuro edition.
The car was immaculate and came with a massive history file. We sold it to a Mazda Rotary aficionado but within our own 3month warranty it came back with the well known hot start problems. We had that sorted after a lot of ignition parts plus a modified starter motor but many other problems arose and we refunded the customer. If I remember correctly we sold it for spares/ repair for around £1k. The guy who bought it was going to do a Ford/ Cosworth 2.9 V6 engine/ gearbox swop..

The stability control would allow a bit of oversteer before blowing the whistle. If you turn it off they can be a little bit lairy in the wet, especially on the OEM tyres, but as said it’s easy to catch.
