I like this blue one too, but it says 2.2 but if you look, it has 3 pedals! is this possible? i thought 2.2s only came in auto?

He's certainly not cheap... but his cars are prepared to a VERY high standard (cambelt/tensioners was done on mine 8000 miles early) and his after sales is excellent - (theres a thread on the old site regarding my rear shock absorbers).

Would I buy from him again ?? Certainly if I was after a certain car as a "keeper" and he had one that matched. For a "daily hack" .. probably not.

A car is worth what you can get for it, he asks a lot, but seems to sell them...

It's sold

It's actually a rare car being a 3.2 Elite Estate (Only 49 on the road a couple of years ago when I was looking), then add the Colour Screen, Light Interior and low mileage and it becomes even rarer Just a pity about the outside colour

I'd have paid that when I was looking a couple of years ago, if it was the right car I didn't pay that much but it was "Too much" according to many people's opinion

Indeed, and as always the market will decide if the price is right or not.  In this instance yet again someone believes it to be a good buy, and I think I must agree and would have bought it if I had £4K in my hand!

That interior would put me off ..... far too light

It's exactly what I paid a couple of years ago .. from him (as you know, I think)

Although that much stuff stopped working or wasn't working at purchase that I rather wish I hadn't, now (the aircon never worked, GPS didn't work, rocker covers needed doing very soon after purchase, wishbone went six months later, drop links started clunking) - of course I could (and should have) gone back to him for warranty fixes but being the slack oik I am, I didn't 

Interesting what you say about numbers of Elite estates on the road though - no wonder there aren't many late model Elite estates with the DTi about.. only one on autotrader right now, in fact, and it's older & higher milage than my 3.2.

Excellent!  Makes mine worth about £6k then!

If you could find the right buyer, you might be surprised

The hard part is finding the right buyer

Given that that one sold, it would seem that it only takes an advert
