There is a tempting looking black 2.6 CDX at a garage (Lionel Browne) in this area - would anybody mind casting a quick eye over it as an initial impression / maybe check out the service history / whats due?

would be appreciated if its not an inconvenience.

Just seems a bit too good to be true really but too far for me to turn up for a speculative browse.

That's v low mileage and black is the best colour.  Just a shame it's auto. If you get sight of an MOT or the V5 you can now check the vehicle MOT history free online at http://motinfo.direct.gov.uk/internet/jsp/ECHID-Internet-History-Request.jsp  Shows you all the mileage figures and the failures/advisories.

Pah - dont start on that line of discussion

There are those who want auto's and those who dont and each have their own reasons.

Leave it at that.

If that was an estate I'd be very tempted to nip over a grab it before you !  :D

Yes, I know how to make myself popular !  ;D

I went over to see this yesturday, came back with a LIST as long as your arm for repairs that needed doing :'( Its had a hard life for the mileage. Also the chap would only drop the price by £100. Not worth the money.
Just a couple of the jobs needed doing.
New windscreen
cam belt
waterpump
tyres
brake disks. >:(

Usual story then, low miles does not always equal a good car  :)

wow new disks at 42K.  Is that mileage genuine do you think?  My disks lasted till 180K and even then I reckon a fair MOT centre would have passed them if I'd remembered to chip the rust off the edges before they looked.
