Looks like Jases car is going to be out of my budget as quite rightly he's waiting for a bidding war. What about this one. The guy sounds genuine. says its been well looked after and garaged every night he's going to send me a video tomorrow linkGood mot history just rear exhaust flange corrosion, and that can be purchased as a repair section off eBay, Body looks ok from the photos, tinted windows have been added, price is fair.. time to do the hpi check and have a road test 👍🏻 |

As Bob says the MoT history isn't bad any fails being largely avoidable if the owner had done a bit of prep (high level stop lamp failure is common but is easily sorted before the test). A good test drive would show if the front ARB joint was repaired properly. The OEM rock bars, bull bar & rear light guards are real plus points IMHO & add value. Go for it. Good luck 👍. |

The search goes on cheers Buying late low mileage cars is a complete lottery so buying older cars at restricted budgets is going to be an even bigger one. Trust not one word you are told. Take nothing for granted and pay zero attention when clowns say VOSA verified mileage. Treat every seller as a liar and a crook. Most of them are. |

Ours was 14 years old with 33k miles when we bought it. The first owner was a lady who didn't use it much and kept it in the garage for most of her ownership. Lucky for me, eh?😊 |

Well ours is 6 and a half years old and has done approx 34,000 miles and is only driven by an old sod. My wife only drives it once or twice a year!!! Her choice though. |

The person hasn't answered me yet so maybe its either sold or not genuine. I'll let you know
How would be best to find a member in that area ?

Local member maybe shielding and not want to mix with strangers so it’s a big ask 🤔, I bought mine from a dealer and asked for dozens of photos and even more question, once happy it was delivered to me . |
