Hi Ben.
First thing i spotted the rust appearing on the rear sills, this car is going to be a pig, you can clearly see the sills in this ebay link.

It is an auction special. Dealer buys a car, polishes it, then has someone copy a description from someone else's ad online. The problem.here though, whoever copied and pasted the ad, thinks it is a jag, and has just copied the text lol

In today's 2nd hand car market though, the price probably isn't far off what it should be - though I guarantee that the seller doesnt realise that.

Now that's very interesting. He's gone from 86000 kilometres on the Facebook ad to 92000 MILES on the Ebay one. That's a 40000 mile difference give or take.

I don't do Facebook so I could be wrong here but for an incomprehensible reason some American companies think that we, in the UK, use kilometres. For example, there's a worrying trend amongst fitness enthusiasts to speak of running "six kays" presumably because their smart watches display this unit.

Any FB car ad the general info at the start is KM, the ad in question if you scroll down a bit it states 86k miles. Doesn't explain why the Ebay ad is saying 92k miles and the FB one (listed 3 days ago) is 86k

I'm sure the odometer says 224 574 miles? Perhaps the mileage in the description relates to (one of) the replacements engine(s).

I Agree, then there is the rust on the driver side door window finishers

Top Specification. Errr no. Every extra. Err no. Has the advertiser seen the car itself?? Doesn’t seem like it.
