Description
We have owned the car for a couple of years and actually planned to keep it for 5-10 years, hence the over the top maintenance, however a baby and all the baby stuff with 3 passengers the boot is not big enough.
the items replaced and reasons are as follows
New Turbo and oil pipes fitted due to turbo making a strange noise ( worn out)
fitted by local garage
Clutch, Dual mass Flywheel, gearbox oil change and new clutch slave cylinder
( recommended as it is fitted inside the gearbox)
Fitted by Mr Clutch
Cam belt kit including Idler and water pump, no fault symptoms but recommended by local garage due to mileage.
We have proof of all of the above work which came close to 3k with labour
We also had a new Yausa Battery fitted this winter due to the old one failing on a freezing morning.
The car bodywork is very straight with no paint defects or damage, Leather interior is very good with no cuts, tyres are all good as are the alloys with the exception of one front which has some paint on the rim scuffed off but the alloy is not damaged, see picture.
Please note! The seats are all one colour, the pictures look as if they are 2 tone but that is due to the light coming in the panoramic roof ( should have closed the blind!)
it has 2 keys and drives very well. it was the highest spec we could find which includes full leather interior, panoramic roof with electric blind and as well as front and rear parking sensors it also has all-round cameras ( front, rear and both sides) I know there are similar cars of the same spec for a little less money but is it worth taking the gamble of saving a bit only to find some major costs are just round the corner. With this car you can be sure the items we have had replaced should be good for the next 5+ years hopefully many more which saves the uncertainty of reliability and of course getting home in the instance of a breakdown
The car is HPI clear, we have proof when we bought it from a garage and during our ownership there has been nothing to change that status.
The car also has a s/s spare wheel which we purchase separately as they only come with a pump and aerosol as standard
The road tax on this car is FREE! due to its low emissions
