Opinions < Good buy?

Lights, MFSW, highline etc etc. buyer saying it was all standard.......just not so sure. They have obviously added tints to windows, wheels and skirts < anyway I can tell?

What you think? all the above......60k miles.........

couple of things in the description which in complete isolation have little bearing on the quality of the vehicle but to me reading a piece of marketing sniff a bit of BS:

a.) 2 previous lady owners
b.) getting rid because there's a baby on the way

In response to a.) I'd want to see FSVWH that would confirm this 'selling point' and in response to b.) that car would be fine as a family car especially with 5 doors unless he already has 3 kids and baby on the way means he now needs a people carrier. However that's not to say it is a lie in terms of why he's getting rid.

It's the small details like these which can reveal the true history behind a motor so are worth investigating if the rest of the stuff about the vehicle stacks up and interests you.

But no i wouldn't buy it... because it's a derv! 

Joking aside - Good luck

Oh and the MFSW & Highline could well have been there from when bought new but they would have been optional extras at the time of purchase. Alternative they may have been retrofits and he has no clue / is talking out his backside (but i don't know what would motivate the latter)

Claiming < Has a BMW 1 series lined up, which offers better value for money and better spec .....that main reason for selling.

We went to Fort William in mine with me wife four yr old son 6mth old son massive pram thing steriliser and luggage for a few days plus all my camera kit and laptop. Ideal family car indeed!!

However if the milage and serivce history add up it looks like a lot of motor for the money.

"R32 Lookalike wheels" implies to me that they are reps?

Not sure what side skirts those are but not GTI/R32, might be votex or something.
