doesnt look very irmscher body kitted to me.
couple of badges, maybe a front bumper?
despise the tyres
looks to be a CD I think, with a spoiler stuck on.

Good ad but strong money :y

Agreed Jimbob (Hannibal ::)), it looks like a CD with front lower spoiler, boot spoiler & irmsher namebadge (plus chrome 'lpg' in place of 'omega 2.2'...don't like it personally :-/). As per Jimbob (Hannibal ;D), I too hate the tyres, lpg instal looks neat enough on the surface, car itself looks tidy but engine bay a bit scruffy & missing cable tray top looks crap but that's just cosmetic. Mileage isn't anything to shout about, as lots of low/lower mileage migs about. He is also being a little economical with the truth as regards the petrol/lpg mileage in my considered opinion? IR 22 -23 mpg around town on petrol & 18 - 19 on gas would be more believable ;) Long distance Motorway driving would probably return something like 28 - 32mpg on petrol & 24 - 26 mpg on gas, but depends on the driver :-/
Oh, and the consumption/hr on tickover (with aircon on) is a bit high at 0.5 gal/hr? mine runs at 0.2 with 'eco' on & 0.3 with 'auto' on :y
-
Even with the low miles and LPG its still too expensive.
For over £3000 you can get yourself a much better mig than that
-
Same old story, it's only worth what some one is prepared to pay for it.
-
£3250!?? :o :o
'Dear' me! ;D
Did he take the Irmscher kit off for the pics!?
-
Personally I think the LPG installation looks a bit untidy in the engine bay :-/ :-/
As for the consumption figure... I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as the engine is cold ;) ;)
-
I hope he gets his price.... :D :D :D

Strangely I like the look of it. I have allways thought those CD alloys are the best looking wheels for the facelift, and the white wall tyres or white paint bit actually makes the car look individual.
Of course, we all like dfferent things.

3 or 4 weeks ago, before I got my new one, I might have been tempted, I love the colour... :y :y
I would like to have seen a full front picture, and it is a well put together add... :y

Oh dear :o six previous owners, 52k on the clock and clear evidence that the perspex odometer cover has been diy removed (looks at the cracks) and poorly refitted (look at the trim), why might that be ;D walk away or just hope the police don't stop you :y More like er-mister turn off your ignition & step out of the vehicle, you need to answer a few questions :'(

I did notice that, but would have looked before buying ::)
I spent months, combing the country, before finding the right car...... :y

Vamps can you edit my quote... it makes me look illiterate, inebriated or both ;) :D ;D ;D Glad you found the right one though :y my comments weren't directed at you or any other OOF member, just a reaction to looking at the ad.. swmbo is plod, so I'm possibly being a tad cynical but still reckon the digit '0' preceding the '52' used to be a '1' ;)

Much prefer the facelift Elite wheels to these and those tyres look ridiculous on that car. Yeuuuk!
Just my opinion of course :)

Just had an email from my mate after he asked him a question.
Dear **
I have MOT's back to November 2006 on that Day mileage was 33,518 and the
owner was in Bradford and before my ownership began.
I have no idea about
prior to then, but in fact I doubt it, and I have always been happy to
accept it as genuine. Perspex cracks with age and temperature changes, so I
guess its that, and there are no signs of tampering .
Regards
Adrian

Dear 194658,
What about all the cracks arround the speedo perspex - has the mileage been
re corected at some point.

No doubt that some moron somewhere will still pay him over 3 grand for it though :D
