Guys a dealer

800 mile round trip for you to pick up.

What if the car is not quite as it seems in real life compared to the description.


If you like the car then make an offer, but at least try and see if there is a member locally that might be willing to take a look.  I would say tread very carefully, the mileage allthough not high for a big car is at the stage where it may need money spending on it.

No mention of it's past, history and cambelt wise.

Very nice motor,especially in black.Maybe a few hundred over priced given the milage,but on the other hand it can make up for it in other areas.I say go for it,but have a damn good look around it in the flesh first. ;)

Agree totally with Mr S.

Ensure someone checks the history, else you'll need to get the cambelt done, and thats another lump of cash .....

Looks a nice car but be cautious ....

So who do we know in West Lothian  ......   :)

 ....

There was about 95 000 on mine when I bought it, and apart from a DIS pack & crank sensor has on the whole ...... I hardly dare say it  ::) [size=8]been OK[/size]  :y  :y  :y There's nearly 160k on it now
My Senator was bought with 114k on it and stupidly sold at about 170k after the head gasket went at 150k.
I wouldn't worry specifically about 110k miles, more like any kind of proper history.  :y

It "looks" very nice, but does seem a tad overpriced. As others have said, more questions to ask eg cambelt change/service history etc

Hate to say it Diane but it's too much money... Josh will come up with a newer one for less  ;) ;) I've been looking for about 10 months now :-X :-X

Also, drivers seat is not "unmarked" although it doesn't seem overly worn for the mileage   :-? :-?

Also... Something looks odd with the headlights... They're meant to be Xenons but look a bit too yellow to me :-/ :-/

Oh... And there's no telematics ::) ::)
