Seems a decent price (to me), are they reliable, anything to look out for? The steering wheel looks like it comes off a Boeing with that many buttons, but that's hardly a deal breaker!

Mods please move to buying and selling, cheers

Ask KKV ! His one was a ball.

As an aside. I’d have serious doubts about that mileage being genuine.

Yeah, it seems very much on the low side.

177000km=99000 miles.

LOL.

Is there any true way of measuring the accuracy of any cars mileage? Interested as I am looking at cars of similar years for my own purchase. The nct can only be used as a guide I suppose.

Service history, MOTs, car checks.

A good diagnostic check can reveal some interesting things about real mileage.

Looks like a nice clean example.
Proceed with caution.

I had a lot of trouble with one after the engine went in it at about 300k km. A lot of the issue was to do with, in my honest opinion, an incompetent garage.

However, despite lots of issues, it's actually being used by my brother for the last year or so, and it hasn't had any hiccups at all, so.. it's back on its feet (Though he's getting a company car soon, i think, so it'll probably end up for sale, or back in my ownership, sooner than later).


Despite the issues I faced, I still think it's a great car all in all. Interior is lovely, it's very comfortable and for long drives there was no other car I ever owned that was better. Other than the fact I've gone off diesel in general, i'd be looking at buying another myself, I'd say. Definitely worth taking one for a spin.

Wasn't yours the 1.6 engine. The 2.0 is a better engine.

Yeah! I wanted the 2ltr when I was buying, but there were only two for sale.


One was on Latvian plates I think :rolleyes: and the other had over 500k on the clock (though I only found that out when I motor checked it, as the advertised mileage of something like 90k seemed a bit low).




So I bought the 1.6.


About a week after buying it, there was loads of 2ltr versions on Donedeal. Just my luck!
