Looks good to me and the price seems realistic, almost too low IMO, which makes me a little suspicious. Theres a big service around 70k/80k so make sure thats been done plus the cam belt. This cost me £600 at VW when I had it done, although that included new front discs.

A car thats been modded like that will have been driven "enthusiatically", so I would be most concerned about engine wear, especially as its tuned to 215bhp which is towards the top end of whats do-able without proper serious mods.

For example, in its history I would like to see loads of regular oil changes etc.

The final thing I would say (and its purely a personnal opinion) is that are you sure you want a look-a-like R32??? I bet you will get quite a bit of negative attention.
