Strong money, but lots of kit on it and a low miler.

For that sort of money, I'd like a car where the front bumper wasn't hanging off, along with the poorly concealed evidence of an unsuccessful attempt to polish out the scuff, and the seller to have the sense not to include the auction house checklist, after they'd bought it for about £2.50 and a tube of Smarties in the hope of making a fast buck.

Add to that, they appear to have used the same boot polish on the seats as the tyre sidewalls...............

It's a no from me I'm afraid David

OK, mine has done say 100,000 miles more, but similar spec, less the troublesome sunroof, and it's a manual. With 160hp software boost, real walnut fascia, and ok my driver's leather electric heated seat is looking a wee bit worn. But even with all the additional items I've added to mine, the total cost would still be well under £1,000.

£4,000? Too rich for most I would hazard.

The front bumper looks a different shade to me.

Not worth 4K. Bumper badly scuffed, seats quite worn.

It has one of the best MOT histories I've seen, that must say something about the car?

It's been on sale for at least 3 weeks! Says it all.

From the ad "1 former keeper (the same family)" what does that even mean?
