Any thoughts.  I am definately in the market for one since getting my 4 pot.  £495 seems a little on the lower side to me, would of expected maybe £700+.

Well, mine with 97k, tax and test, Full Vauxhall service history and very, very good condition, cost me £650 (he wanted £750) and i admit that i thought it was cheeky of me as i would have happily paid up to £800-£900 in such mint condition.
Hence, i totally agree, i would be thinking something might be slightly amiss somewhere ;)

I was actually up just north of Bridlington last week on holiday, pity I didn't know about it then as would probably as popped over to have a look as I was nearby.

He does do a reasonably interesting write up though, although its a hell of a lot of waffle without saying a great deal about the car itself.

I have asked about cambelt / waterpump etc. last change just to see.

Well, I had a reply from the seller re the cambelt etc, it speaks volumes!

He doesn't know when it was last done, service history is only up to 2004 (70k) with no receipts or anything to show any work after that.  Last recorded change was in 2003 at 56k.

With no knowledge of any work / maintenance done for the last six years I think ill give it a miss.  If it was a bit closer I would still be tempted to go and have a look over it, but at about 4 hours round trip I am not as keen.
