The paint on this car is stunning condition, you would see more stone chips on the average 10,000 mile car. The only real mark worth noting is on the o/s rear quarter, which is a scratch and very small dent. Just being honest! Inside the car is equally great, with only the slightest wear on the drivers bolster (no tear or split though!). Mechanically I've found 3 minor defects, one being one of the tyres near the limit (other 3 are very good), a very slight blow on the exhaust (not loud) and a small oil leak somewhere near the top of the engine. I doubt many people would have noticed these but im just being honest! The last issue to mention is the key fob needs replacing, the rubber buttons disintegrated and fell to bits but it still works as it should.
Overall though it's a simply stunning car inside and out, and drives well too. The brakes/steering/suspension/gearchage all feel super tight and responsive. You wouldn't guess the mileage is 105k, it would honestly fool anyone looking over it or driving it to being a 20,000 mile car. It really has to be seen to be appreciated as photos dont do it justice. The reg reads "VX52" as well, which makes it well f*cking cool.
It comes with full history including a cambelt change and regular services. I have the tear-off reciept from the V5 document, which you can send off with a form to the DVLA and get a logbook (no charge for this and takes no longer than normal).
Going by others for sale I think the car is worth ?3000 given the condition and the fact it's full leather (most are half leather), I just want a quick sale so I'm asking £1895 with a full years MOT or £1695 without MOT. I dont know what is needed for it, but based on me driving the car I'd say nothing major.
I may P/X or swap for something sporty like a Mk4 Astra coupe turbo (not hatchback), Civic Type-R or a Calibra.
I am only a few minutes from M1 junction 26, or I can meet a buyer at the train station (Nottingham), viewings are welcome.
