T3 is a uk spec, looks good to me, one owner in Ireland. Going on the reg I’d say it was imported around 2008 so that’s all good IMO. It’s only just been tested too.

There’s no such thing as a t3 strada’ by the way, there was an Irish spec called Strata which was similar to this but lower spec.

Is the car local to you?

Ok cool, yes its pretty local. Worth a look i guess. They dont have service history but said it flew thruogh NCT.

Change of ownership just went through on that car yesterday.

Imported by Derek Considine car sales in Clare gong on the reg surrounds, their cars are usually a decent when they come in.

Ha! How do you know? Should i avoid? Have been just texting them they didnt mention it.

Comes up on motortax.ie

Possibly just bought by the seller to flip. No harm in asking them straight out! Could have been a trade in to a garage or something. There was no transfer to motor dealer done, so who knows?
I wouldn’t avoid it as such, just you can often tell a lot about a car from the seller. If they’ve only owned it a few days then you won’t be able to tell a lot!
