Doesn't seem a bad price for this does it? Has had a small dry layup apparently that would need confimring but seems decent.

Very rare for a 77k mile car to pass an MD inspection, looks good value.

 

[daverichardson]

Looks a decent price.
The interior shots appear different colours - trick of the light?

Just noticed no main dealer oil service stamp for the Sept 15 service though.

I looked at that advert this morning...Thought it looked good and was a good price for a full auro Sport.......Would need it checked out by someone in the know though...

 

[Wack61]

Why would somebody lay a car up for 3 years losing 10-15k to then put it back on the road to sell, plus it's been on eBay at least once before without selling

 

[BJL]

Plus Falken tyres? Maintenance and running costs obviously an issue for the seller which may highlight other shortcomings.

 

[rockits]

I guess we are discovering reasons why the price is keen.

Falken tyres are good, and hardly budgets...

Just for comparison

255/35/19

Falken - £107.00
Pirelli P zero - £111.00

 

[Ewan]

Meaning even every £4 per tyre was important. That's a worry.

 

[Contigo]

If you knew your tyres then you would select Falken every time over Pirelli P Zero's.

 

[Andyk]

This Falken thin comes up now and again on here.......Said before never had an issue with Falken....Maybe a little more road noise but still performed really well and definitely not a budget tyre.

I had no problems with them, but I know Wack perceived a significant improvement when he changed them. I wonder if they go off a bit rapidly. In any event, they were fine when I fitted them

The car tramlined really badly with Falkens on PS4s transformed it but they were down to 2mm

mind you it's better still now it's had a new steering rack end fitted last night , the steering is much sharper

That's not going to be a great surprise

Needs a idler pulley now though, started squeaking again so I got him to take the belt off and it has play, £50 from eurospares so I'm going to ring bowkers later on and order one.

I don't like going up there, they have far too many nice cars on the forecourt , really nice guys though, they'll chat about cars all day without trying to sell you something , mind you I did point out I'd be shopping in the PX zone if they had one

You've broken the new one I gave you already?

that was the tensioner pulley , this one is the idler , good news is the expensive bits are running freely

 

[daverichardson]

I have Falken on my QPV excellent!
