loserone Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I reckon I fancy a change. This is nice. Really, quite nice indeed. But regular readers will know I am growing keener on having a comfortable ride quality these days, and this has 17" wheels on. Wheels bigger than 15" are suitable only for bicycles. Hence, here's a roffle. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW GOOD: Black Tan leather in good nice Dual zone climate control which works Heated leather front and rear It's the top spec 250BHP HOT one so it's not entirely slow Two good keys Memory seats Stack of history rivalling a CISSP textbook MOT until 03/08/2021 I'm getting 33 MPG from it. Everything works. BAD: Lacquer peel. The roof and bonnet have been resprayed at some point, and nearly all the lacquer has come off. I reckon 5 minutes with a jetwash would make it look matt and less noticeable. The exhaust has started blowing recently. I've not even looked at it, it's fine from the inside but throaty from the outside. It will need a small patch on the bottom of the wheel arch on one side, but looks nothing like as bad as the maroon one which was recently for sale on here. @davehedgehog31 reckons it sometimes uses a bit of oil. The owner previous to him had the turbo changed 50k ago (!) in an attempt to resolve this. However, I've found that generally it's not using oil any more than I might reasonably expect - say, half a pint every 1000 miles? The OSF wheelbearing drones at 50-55MPH. I don't do 50-55MPH anywhere, I'm either doing 30 or 80, so this hasn't affected me. However, there's a new wheelbearing for it in the boot. I'm THAT lazy. Given the SMOLL HOLES in the exhaust and wheelarch, I'm sure it's not worth as much as the marvellous looking one for sale on here elsewhere with the lower spec and smaller engine and wrong gearbag. So I reckon £12 a ticket, or three for £30.

wesacosa Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I used to daily an LPG one until some moron wrote it off when parked. Fabulous car, seats are supremely comfortable and pulls like a train.
