It's been a while, hello to all old and new members.

a) is it known to anyone, b) alternatives c) rate this out of 10.


The chap who will buy it is a mate.
 
Beauty with THAT engine, fab colour combo.
 
Thats a great colour combo and a well kept and optioned car. However, that advert is nauseatingly pretentious. People who are going to buy that dont want arty shots from every angle, makes the details difficult to sift out.
 
Not my sort of colour scheme; that blue is a bit drab, that interior a bit gaudy.
 
As mentioned on facebook group, personally i would give this a miss unless you live near, else its not worth your trip.
Few points i didnt like about the car:
1) Paintwork will need major paint correction
2) Wheels probably non oem or been powdercoated
3) DRL malfunctioned. Will cost a bit to replace.
4) Interior leather seats are not clean
5) Wheels lug bolts are too corroded.
6) Engine bay could at least have a wipe down before pics taken.

Overall, not quite well prepped or even in a good condition.
Be sure to ask for a proper first cold start of the day, to listen for camshaft adjusters rattle or lifters.

You clearly had more patience than I did for that advert! Missed half of that on my frustrated look!
 
Thanks chaps. Much appreciated..

I agree it’s sloppy presentation but honestly I prefer viewing a car in its original state. Its easier to spot any work that has been done to the bodywork or engine and generally just have a feel for how well it’s been cared for.
