Agree about the price,  looks identical to mine..  low miles etc...  Mine only had 1 owner,  3door and FFSH...   £2000  :grin:  but that's a private sale and I knew the owner...

Good luck mate,  did you buy it ?

I'd say it's about it's money, any cheaper and you start getting higher mileage cars with some service history etc...

it says sports seats but it has Recaros being a V plater
