I always liked the Monte Carlo Blue and have only seen one here in the states (and it wasn't done very well). Beautiful color, although I never considered it to be purple-ish. Then again I'm color blind so what do I know?

That price is high. Unless it has very few miles and an immaculate top and tires (OEM is $$) then you should bargain it down for less.

VGS is a rare item, and refers to the steering wheel ratio. You should also note an odd shaped steering wheel and badging on the trunk.

Best of luck,
Hockey

This is the JDM Type-V color.

That's a lot for a MY00 car here in the States, but who knows, could be perfectly in line in the UK. I suggest you ask your question in the UK forum, they'll have a much better idea of that the used market for these cars is like.

Be aware of the VGS feature. Rumor has it makes the car handle weird.

I drove one at an autocross and didn't notice any weirdness. But then, it was raining and the limited grip might have masked any such weirdness.
