For ZF auto, tidy, well kept and a good price Against Shame about the careless jacking.
This pre-facelift car is a very late ‘crossover’ model that has the ZF auto; it wasn’t registered until mid-2008. It was last sold in 2017 with a new service at 90,095 miles, for £18,000.
It is very well preserved, with a full service history and showing no warning lights.
The body has had no obvious paint and is unscuffed, with only a few small stone-chips and one tiny ding, plus a little lacquer flaking off the rear bumper. The tyres are well-treaded, 2015dated Pirelli P Zeros; the front alloys are lightly kerbed. The exhaust looks good. There’s a little underside surface rust in areas and, sadly, the right sill has been jacked in three places, but it doesn’t show unless you climb underneath.
The cabin looks good and is wearing well, and all the electrics work. The leak-free motor is tidy; the fluids are less than 1100 miles old, clean and to level. The alternator belt looks new.
It starts easily and drives well, tracking straight and with smooth brakes. The temperature sits in the middle of the gauge. It makes all the right noises, with no creaks from the suspension, and the gearbox is responsive.
Sold with manuals, sat-nav package, two keys and an MOT (with no advisories) until July.
