    Car Description

    Car History
    I have owned the car since the start of September this year. It's hasnt had any work done other than I replaced all 4 tyres with a set of Goodyear EfficientGrips.

    I don't believe I have any history with the car other than the logbook.

    The car was imported in 2009 and has 124000 on the odometer. It was converted when imported to miles so that is a mixture. I'm guessing its around 80000-90000 miles.

    The car has always started and run fine and I haven't had any issues driving it around. Engine runs well.

    I've done almost 3000 miles since I bought it as I've been using it for work and visited family in Cumbria a few times too.

    Only selling as my Mercedes is due a service and I found out I have equity in it so I'm trading up to an RS4 estate - that makes keeping the leggie rather pointless!

    I only ever fuel the car on Super Unleaded and never drive it hard when cold.

    Pictures in post below....

    Modifications.
    The bonnet is wrapped in matte black, the car has a digital variable boost controller fitted in place of the clock and has a large (VERY) loud exhaust system with decat.

    Dump valve which is also very loud. great fun though

    Other information.
    Car generally needs TLC, any test drive or viewing more than welcome.

    I'll be as honest as possible and the car is far from flawless but fundamentally its a great cheap fun car.

    Bad bits
    Black alloys not to my tastes and could use a refurb.

    Front bumper slightly dislodged after driving up a curb and reversing off it.

    When cold gearbox changes into first gear a bit hard.

    Squeaking when driving from front right wheel (I think)

    Brakes need to be pushed very hard to work well. Maybe needs bleeding or something?

    AYC system squeeks when active, but works fine. Think its well overdue a fluid change.
