that sounds a reasonable price  :undecided:

has it got Full service history? has the cambelt been changed at 60K? if so what options does it have

i'd say 8K is about right, though you can always ask for a family discount if you're thinking about buying it :grin:

I would go for it, the price doesnt sound bad, its the quickest diesel and atleast you know the owner and whats happened to the car which is the worst thing about buying privatly.
