My extensive experience of car dealers makes me vary wary , a car like this one would need to be making them £1500 profit , makes it a £6k purchase . If it is cheap at a dealer there is a real issue with any car , whether it is visible or not . I would never buy anything that appears cheap .
Thanks for posting this

They have had that silver one for sale for a very long time
It was on my list when I was looking but the no history and cat d put me off,just from a resale point of view
It was £7895 when I was looking
I got my 08 ed30 with full history for £8500 slightly more but worth the extra

7k is his top budget... his now looking at nice low mileage gti's. But thanks for the offer  :happy2:
