Known Issues (reflected in the price):
Bodywork: Various scratches, scuffs and small bumps from previous owner and my time using it at uni. Cosmetic only (see pictures).
AC: Needs a re-gas (currently not blowing cold).
Seatbelt Pretensioners: Need replacing - parts included in the boot, quoted 90 labour to fit.
Wiper Stalk: Broken off, but the wiper mechanism itself works fine.
Despite the cosmetic issues, this is a mechanically strong and economical car that has been maintained well and is very reliable. Perfect if you're looking for a bargain first car or a cheap runaround. Low price reflects the bodywork, not the mechanics.
First to see will buy. Open to test drives.
