Another interesting looking E85 Si Auto...

[True-Blue]

Again, nothing do do with me..... but I know there a few looking for auto’s and this one is in one of the best colour Combo’s

Bought by PAH on the forum

 

[mr.tourette]

yep a nice motor that, that champagne leather and black trim always looks a treat

 

[Darren Slone]

That’s a nice looking car for sure

 

[True-Blue]

If I’d seen this before the one I’ve just bought I’d have been sorely tempted to view, even though it’s an auto

 

[griffnut]

Yes it looks the part, but needs some money spent to make it a nice car to own (study photo's and MOT History) - but I am very fussy!

 

[garibaldy]

Cheaper here

Perhaps it's a sign of the times or a reflection on the cars condition.

Very nice example

Like what? The scratches? Just asking because I do like the car and not sure what I am missing
What I would want from the start it's cruise control.

...maybe this quote from the ad: "The body-work is not blemish-free with the odd small scrape or scuff"

Cruise control and xenons would be the desirable options that it's missing. And a manual gearbox of course!

This is the car I posted about going to see this Thursday, seller refuses a test drive due to covid.
But I may persuade the seller it’s a 150 mile drive for me.

I'm sure with the roof down, you would be meeting WHO 1m guidelines which is very low risk in an 'outdoor' high UV setting. Maybe it's a condition of garage opening?
The car looks almost identical to mine in colour spec/mileage apart from the piano black. -I was a bit unsure about getting an auto, but I love it and don't miss the manual I used to have. I guess it's down to driving style. These days I'm happy to take it easy - I hardly ever use the paddle shifters!

Got it, thanks!
Yes, fair notes and without a test-drive, I would not move on.

 

[griffnut]

Great colour combo.

I was checking this one today,

Bad bits are not having flappy paddles and not being an si
Thoughts?

And that it's easily £2000 too expensive?

Good thing I asked the question.
Well, will keep waiting.

If 6k is your budget, you may be able to squeeze a facelift Si with sports seats and more power out of it. Definitely look at 06 onwards cars

Well, finding it in auto, with less than 80k miles it's... complicated
