I just bought mine a few weeks ago after a good few months of browsing and looking at different ones. I didn't look at that one, but I recognise it and remember seeing it on sale for some time - literally months. That doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with it other than the price being too high. So go check it out if you can. There's probably half a chance someone on here knows something about it as either a former owner (reg number implies an enthusiast owner) or having looked at it themselves.

It has keyless entry.... Interesting as it was never an option! Unless you count climbing in over the doors

And it has 17 alloy wheels instead of the usual four.

Hi mate, I went and viewed this before I bought mine, its a dog, rear bumper has been done with an aerosol, it was covered in dust and fallout but he may have washed it since. From what I remember it had a repair on the rear wing but dont quote me on it, most of the cars I went and viewed had some sort of repair. The "dealership" is really an alley way leading into a load of private garages full of cars, kinda looked like a scrap yard. Nightmare to find parking too. Depends what your looking for but I was there for less than 5 minuets. Brakes looked knackerd too. I'd say don't waste your time and find another.

Price does seem a bit steep considering i paid 8k for my 05 plate rnb GT with only 49000 on the clock 2months ago! Swirl marks look horrendous on it too!
