I knew they were down near there but this is different from the 100k+ milers in seemingly less than desirable locations. Happens to be close to me too.

For under £500, 240hp and near 150mph. Fully leathered up too.

Just noticed the mirror, sans glass.

Does seem distinctly cheap.
Mind you i bought a V70 T5 for not much more with tax and near full MOT not that long ago.

19 from me. Seems to be somewhere around Sutton / Bromley area.

Almost worse in that its not loads more than I'm wanting to spend at the moment but enough that its a bit too much. Probably about £1k between what I'd stretch too now and post haggle but potentially worth a call in case they're desperate.

Also someone in the thread - Lefty maybe - was saying how they're not so great the other night. I'm sure I could live with one for a bit though.

Could be right on the location. I'm in Hove.
Deffo worth a call and a looky I reckon if you've got the readies to hand. Such a handsome car and one of the only modern car designs that I like. Sleek and graceful and not bulbous and bloated like everything else.

My budget is 5k max tbh. That's me selling the current bus and sticking a couple of grand on top.
Go take a look and report back with your findings! driving

Thats my budget too although I'm willing to add a bit depending on what it is. As you say, cash in hand some people will be keen for a deal so potentially worth a call.
