I paid 10.5k for the car, which I thought was pretty reasonable considering the ones I was looking at around the 40-50,000 mile mark were around 7-8k for good condition. Tbh, the offer (i.e. a car with such low mileage) was too good to turn down!

It’s only had one previous owner, an old guy who was driving it around 500 miles a year! I was sceptical at first, but MOT history all checked out so it’s more or less ‘factory fresh’. :drool: Although it will probably need some basic maintenance as it is a 10 year old car.

I’ll try and upload some pics on the weekend, but it’s my daily, so may need to give it a clean first to look presentable haha.

Tbh I think anything other than subtle OEM+ mods will harm the resale prospects of your car. A remap and decent tyres / bushes / brake pads etc should sharpen up the driving experience quite nicely.

Couldn't agree more a trip to TPS to get everything working lovely a remap to give you more driveability and just any oem extras it might be without and you will have one hell of a car.

I paid just under half what you did and got mine at just under 60k with a warranty wish i had that sort of cash and found one with so little milage.

looking forward to seeing some photos :drinking:

Yep, that’s all more or less what I was going to do anyway. But thanks for your responses guys! I hope the rest of the community will appreciate my pride and joy as much as you. :smiley:
