A bargain at £4300 and only 59k miles. Is the body and interior tatty ? Were the tyres and alloys any good ? Ok, a V on a 1999 plate - but that's ok. "Just been serviced" means very little on the turbo cars, you weren't there listenning to any advisory comments from a good workshop technician  - You have to look all through the service history to see;  What Has ---- and What Has Not ,  been done.

Then read the posts here on common faults and go thru them one by one. You may have a great car for the money.
