I went to see this car a few months ago based mostly on the low-milage - at the time I think it was up for around £24k. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
I'm sure someone will fall in love with it but I was put off by the slightly mental paintwork (unbelievable amount of fleck - it appeared almost to 'shimmer' - difficult to describe) and the number of stonechips on the front end - some of which were quite large.
Send me a PM if you want some more info.

Hi,
I'm not surprised it hasn't sold at all. Its a complete dog of a car. We drove 2 hours to see it and it was obvious within a few minutes of arriving that we weren’t going to be interested. I picked up the following:
1) Huge number of stone chips on bonnet (badly touched in)
2) Condensation in headlight
3) Two Deep gouges on rear end next to boot lid (badly touched in)
4) Paint damage where boot lid has rubbed roof.
5) Brown discolouration in paintwork below filler cap where fuel has leaked out
6) Front and rear badges looking tatty
7) Took half an hour to start. Showed ‘EFI fault code 4’ on dash.
8) Eventually ran but dealer had to nail the throttle whilst cold to keep it running. (Made me cringe)
9) Showed brake warning light during test drive despite being told it had new pads. Brakes very unresponsive.
10) Coolant eventually boiled over when stationary at garage and leaked from header tank cap.
11) Drivers side sun visor wouldn’t stay up.
The car was on the forecourt for about £24k when I saw it and I believe it had been there since the beginning of the year. If this is a genuine 6k mile car then its been driven damn hard for 6k miles! Not to be touched with a barge pole IMO.
Also the dealer was useless.
Regards,
Andy.

1) Huge number of stone chips on bonnet (badly touched in) - could happen in 100 miles.
2) Condensation in headlight - not unusual and easily sorted.
6) Front and rear badges looking tatty - sadly not unusual either.
9) Showed brake warning light during test drive despite being told it had new pads. Brakes very unresponsive. - probably clutch cylibdre on its way out. Any car thats been stood and not used will feel numb in the braking departmemt - especially one thats so under-servo'd.
10) Coolant eventually boiled over when stationary at garage and leaked from header tank cap. - Probably over filled.
11) Drivers side sun visor wouldn’t stay up. - Not the end of the world...
So it needs some paint and a service. My only worry ( and on that alone, I would walk away) would be the cold abuse.
