Your link doesn’t seem to go anywhere?

Read in other thread it has General Altimax tyres, they are a mid-range brand. General Tyres manufacture them in Portugal, so not cheap Chinese sh!t.

for this specific car excise duty is about 450 euro, jumps to around double that for an R due to the emissions.  i can find the calculator and send it to you if you like so you can figure it out exactly, please PM me.  Also if it's temporary or permanent export, that may also be a factor you need to calculate.

No satnav...everything else looks there.....cheap tyres worse than the factory fit Bridgestone's...

Rear seat isofix covers missing which would have been fitted for date of car....so owners had baby seats in rear???

The GTI lettering on one brake caliper is faded badly.....& yes stock 18" wheels, NOT the 19" santiagos...


Basically if they can't be bothered getting two bloodly obvious spec items right then they are not worth dealing with....
