In line with Teamemmenracing's great analogy this car is by no means all it seems:
25% below book, perhaps, good value - well who knows. If the owner is so amazingly honest then why does his advert show it as his wife's lovingly cared for car? Seeing some of his posts he really knows the value of his cars and this one suddenly has to go?
His PH garage shows the following entry including the fact that he's scrubbed off 4 sets of rears in the first 20k:
Over 15 months/20k miles into ownership now. Still think its brilliant, and has been improved by the switch to non-runflats all round. Lack of an LSD is irritating but is probably only relevant to the tiny % of hooligans who care about such things.
Nothings gone wrong, only one piece of trim has fallen off (@ a trackday) and been put back, 4 sets of rear tyres have been chewed up, its now returning a barely creditable 29.4mpg and just continues to be all round bloody brilliant. Whats more, after all those miles it still feels like something a little bit special.
On track? Well, its frankly bl00dy lairy in the dry - wants to oversteer on entry, mid corner, and on exit. Fun, in other words Understeers in the wet, and throttle will generally push the front or spin the inside tyre so a clutch kick is needed to adopt the 'correct' cornering attitude
With it now sat on 65,000 this guy knows exactly how hard a life this has led and is getting rid before it falls to pieces.
Just my 2p worth and I'd not touch this with the proverbial barge pole
