Not entirely true :oops:

But at least you will see some, most, all? of the faults the car has developed and if they were or were not fixed?

I love the coupe but it has to be a soft top as there is nothing more thrilling than flying across the north York moors on a lovely day with the top down.

Why do they have to list it like this though

"ONE OFF MEGA SPEC CAR"

when it's no different to many others out there. :headbang:

I know you have to draw a line, but if it meats your spec, would you now look at it. Only 5k over you limit.

No I have a limit of 60k which is higher than I had planned but I now realise these engines can do some miles, and that is also from a dealer and I would rather buy from a forum member I do struggle with dealers.
