I'm hoping the subframe is salvageable...
Anyone know this car GT 08

Maybe just me being OCD. But it has failed alot of MOT's or had advisories for tyre cords throughout it's life etc. Tells me alot about them and their potential care or an the suspension issue eating tyres, that each owner has ignored, would personally make me look for a slightly more cared for example, as it will save you more in the long run

Had a good think and after a really useful chat with Dale did a deal yesterday!
Very exicted - just organising logistics as it is being delivered after a touch up to the front bumper. Booked in for front arms one side (these have already been purchased by the dealer) and bushes on the other along with subframe maintenance.
Thanks for everyones input!

Soooo we agreed that they would repaint the front bumper and now having been put back together it throwing random codes asr, epb, throttle position etc. Sounds like a weak battery but you never know updates to follow.
The garage have been very good and even asked for me to put them in touch with Prestige to fault find.
Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Time for an update - I have the car!
New battery and reset resolved all codes...for 2 days and then yesterday it happened again. Battery reset again and back to normal but that would suggest there is an issue.
Have only paid 50% and the garage are keen to fix it which is great and are taking my lead.
Otherwise it's gorgeous and the noise! The exhaust is aftermarket (gt exhausts?) with valves and it just howls, crackles on the overrun and is generally just on the acceptable side of obnoxious.
Subframe and front bushes being done on the 3rd then maybe a detail. Plan on wrapping the gloss black interior trim in 3m carbon as the transition from the light leather to black dash seems too great for me.
