Ita been up for sale for a couple of months now. I think IRC it was £22k ish when it first appeared.

Looks like a good example from the pictures and the price drop will bring it into more peoples budget range.

I was considering a viewing. However I am concerned about the wheels. I think that l read on a previous thread that fitting 19" wheels to a car set up for 18" wheels through out the geometry and handling, not to mention the gearing as well as messing wih speedo and odometer. It also raises the center of gravity and reduces stability. Maybe someone better qualified than I could set me straight on that?

Looks nice, the wheels suit it and overall it looks good in the photos

What is the difference on circumference for the 19" & 18" wheels? If the 19" wheels have lower profiles the difference will be reduced.

Indeed. You'll find the ride less compliant, but I doubt anything else

Put the tyre sizes into a rolling road radius check calculation and if the answer is less than 2% you should be OK
