for it, sounds as though its got big mileage but not as much as mine i bet 192,000 miles and still going strong, well worth asking how much he wants for it though :wink:

"We have loads of History & receipts detailing many ?1,000's having been spent on this car. Please call for full spec & details on 0118 969 9903."


call me a cynic, but why has this car had ?1,000s spent on it? to me that says one thing - thrashed to death and things are wearing out and being replaced. and lets face it, the previous owner was not a little old lady.

Even on the photos, the front nearside wing doesn't look quite right :tongue:

Worth a visit to have a gander, but I'd be pretty cautious and as someone eklse has already said, try to find out what they're looking for before going as it could be a waste of their and more importantly, your time.

"8 owners" Ha Ha. How many cars have 8 owners and all of them take good care of the car. It's a pretty high turnover for a car that's only 14 years old. Sounds to me like peeps have it for a year, it costs them a small fortune and they sell it on :huh:

Who knows, could be mint :wink:
