    For my sister I'd really appreciate some input. Getting mixed reviews. Timing belt was done at 90k. Seller is local and I know him. Anything I need to watch out for?
    TIA

    How well do you know the seller and the car?

    Motor tax website says ownership transferred on the 29th September. Leatherette seats and really faded headlight lenses give me a first impression that the car may have been used as a hackney or taxi at some stage.

    Kinda funny spec. Are foglights missing? Leather is handy but screams taxi. Not a UK import.
    Seems a bit pricey.

    He's definitely had it a few yrs alright. Probably swapping between himself and his missus to avoid paying back tax.

    Any notable issues with these cars?

    Just wondering if anybody had good or bad experience with them. Parkers haven't a lot to say about the petrol model. You can't beat personal experience though

    Completely OT, but if you know him - what housing estate is that. Is it Aidan park?
