2008 (07 Reg) Sapphire Black 2.5i Sport. 79 k. £4,500
I’ve owned this car for just about a year, always wanted one and have really enjoyed scratching the itch. Currently don’t have the space/time with a new house renovation on my hands.
I’ve had a few of the key bits of work done that were required to futureproof the car, with its ridiculously smooth 6-cylinder n52. I think I’ve priced it fairly, given the current market, has a decent spec, low ish mileage and is in good mechanical condition without being show piece quality on the paint work.
Spec:
-Black top n52 2.5i – runs perfectly
-6 speed gearbox
-Full factory sports spec, no modifications
-Sport spec suspension
-Heated leather Msport seats (black)
-Parking sensors
-Leather multifunction Msport steering wheel
-Brushed aluminium dash
-2 x cupholders
-Ice cold aircon and climate control
-Auto dim mirror
-Auto lights
-Auto wipers
-Factory wind deflector
-Business CD with aux in
-18” MV2 Wheels with 4 x continental winter contact tyres, 5 mm tread all round
-2 x keys, which remotely drop the roof
History:
-Full service history, serviced annually
-Roof motor located to boot by previous owner – very tidy job, motor is spotless
In the last year:
-Serviced when I bought it Autumn 2021, I then completed an interim oil and filter change in June 2022
-Front left suspension swing arm replaced this year
-Front brake pads and left calliper replaced this year
-New pieburg electric water pump and thermostat this year
-Bonnet emblem
-Bumper side support clips
-Roof washed and treated with autoglym kit

Good points:
-Full service history
-Mechanically solid, good to go and have fun with straight away
-All electricals and peripherals working perfectly – no dash lights etc.
-Roof in great condition
-Factory tool roll, warning triangle, first aid box (no kit) and 2 keys
-Bluetooth thingy that plugs into the aux included
-Roof fabric kit and some spare oil from change included
Bad points:
-Wheel roundels faded
-Few minor paint scuffs
-Minor repair to wind deflector mesh done by previous owner
-Paint repair on part of front bumper by previous owner – could be re-done better

Shame you are having to sell, but it might help if you gave an indication of where it is.

And GLWTS. :thumbsup:

Extremely honest advert for what looks like an extremely honest car. :thumbsup:

79k miles on a 14 1/2 year old car is low IMHO.

Wheel centre roundels are £5 a set off eBay, so that shouldn't detract from the car TBH. :)

Thanks very much Pondrew!

The dales are lovely this time of year, could combine with a Ribblehead Viaduct lap...
 
Just goes to show, the market may be “difficult” for these cars at the moment, but the right car at the right price will sell.

Well done OP.
