Don't recall ever seeing it in the classifieds before. Does look nice though, apart from those alloys maybe. But that just MOPO. smile

Just go in with your eyes wide open. And if you're going to use a specialist to check it over, use one that won't miss paint defects and nackered gearboxes, etc.

Look at to see what work has been done to the car for maintenace. As the car has not done a lot of miles, you might be setting yourself up with bills not too soon. If the owner has taken good car of the car, then there should be no reason why this would be a bad one.

Apart from that, nice colour, good price for a 4.2.

Remeber, if the engine needs attention, which means a rebuild, kiss goodbye to £5.5 - £6.5k.

used every day, but only done 11000 since '96? thats consistently less than 900 miles a year - i'd be suspicious on the mileage, but the overall condition of the car inside and out should bear witness if it really is that low mileage.

looks very similar to mine, local to me too!

The guy who owns it now has only owned it since December and he hes used it everyday since, clocking up 3k,prior to him only 1 owner who apparently is never in the country so has been sat in his garage.
Dont suppose you fancy giving it the once over for me do you if it's local? I'm in Scotland so not quite so easy for me just to pop round. lol

Looks nice from the pix but that doesnt mean much, doesnt say must history about the car on the advert either.
Mileage shouldnt be a prob if its been looked after, mine only done 16k when i bought it......then again my engine went pop after 6 months(bloody crankshaft grrrrrrrr)

Something doesn't add up there with the mileage. 12 years.11000 mile used everyday. Isn't that about a 2.5 miles a day ? Looks clean though

Badly worded ad,the guy who owns it now has used it everyday since he bought it in December covering 3000 miles,not used it everyday since it was made!!
