Description

I have had this car since approx 70,000 miles and it now has nearly 150,000 but it still runs like a Swiss watch. I have stayed on top of all things and the only job that wasn't preventative was replacing the coolant expansion bottle. I have never had to call the rescue services or broken down in our entire eight years together. The car has absolutely no filiform bubbling. The relevant plate will stay on the car if the full price is paid. There is a Jagdroid fitted which I use for bluetooth connectivity but I feel I have not even scratched what it is capable of. There is also an Audio Connectivity Module (ACM) fitted which enables you to play music from an (albeit old) iPod. The car also has the rear DVD screens, heated rear seats, business tables and a sunroof (all drains clear). It has Voice Control (never got the hang of it) and a speed limiter (never got the hang of that either). Everything else is the usual X358 refinement. Preventative work included a gearbox service (at approx 80,000 and it's still smooth as silk), replacement tank straps, replacement radiator, replacement air con condensor while the radiator was off, coolant bottle and water pump. I had all four calipers replaced with refurbed unit. The wheels are proper Vela rims and are all the correct size (ie they are not staggered) for this car. They were all recently refurbished. The tyres are All Season with plenty of tread left. The complete underside was Waxoyled by Protectorust. The headliner was replaced about three months ago. The service history is a stamped book up to my ownership then a large folder of all invoices from thereon. Oil, filter and air filters changes at last MOT so nothing due now until middle of next year. Car is based in Guildford
