For more info on this vehicle call our showroom on 01202 237313 This is a 1 previous owner, 66,000 mile car with a good history.
Lady owned since 2003 and was regularly serviced throughout her ownership as comes with a very full stamp book.
Generally she presents well but there is the odd blemish from having poor paint repairs at some point in its life.
I do not think she's had any damage, just the odd bumper scuff sorted out from someone who does not pride them selves on attention to details.
Im behind hyper critical as i recently sold pretty much the same car with 1 owner which never had paint and the difference was noticeable, that sold with ease for £16,000 so i feel this is a steal at £9,990 for such a low mile, 1 previous owner car.
Will come with a fresh MOT and check over by my in-house mechanic...
