price wise it about 50% what other dealers have charged for 10k etc mile S's. And this one is 1 owner!

I must say it looks the dogs danglies.

True... maybe it's at a dealer who just doesn't know what it's really worth... or maybe it's a typo... 100,000 miles...?!?

Being a bit unfair here... but I'd be interested to know.

well i must say the photo does suggest its very tidy - even if photos can be a bit deceiving. It looks more like 10k than 100k and with 1 owner it would ring true.

I have often thought if someone p/exed an S at a numpty dealer you might get a bargain. An old S passes through and the book price isnt available so a few calls to other traders and they eventually find out what the S actually is and low and behold they undervalue it. never know. I would be up there like a shot if I were on the hunt for one.

Rang up about it at the weekend. Price is a miss print, and is actually up for £8,995. Being sold by a dealer who has owned/stored it for eight years. I believe it has recently been resprayed.

thats the fault of the standard tick boxes on autotrader more than the dealer in fairness

Oh did I put £5,995? I meant £8,995. What's that you say? 10,000? No, my finger must've slipped! It should be 70,000. Silly me! Still, while you're here...

You are probably right, something is a miss there alright.

I payed £3,600 for an S2 'H' plate 1990 11 months MOT V-E-R-Y untidy, but drives fine.(apart from the usual niggles) Speedo reads 33,395 but not working, and I suspect it hasn't been for a while! No history, always a risk, but it HPI'd all true - 6 former keepers, no claims, same reg, etc. Chassis has lost a lot of plastic coating, but under scrutiny appears solid, even the front outriggers! You pays ya money, you takes ya choice! (and chance!!)
Paul

Thought I'd better mention the niggles!!
