Description
Yes, this is a very low price for this car at this age and mileage. Obviously that means that there are some "cons" to go with the many "pros", which will be listed below so as to be fully transparent.
Pros:
- Low mileage for the car's age
- Full year's MOT
- New clutch 3 years ago. This is a massive plus point as they are expensive to replace but have a long lifespan
- New battery less than a year old
- Tonnes of great features (see the features list)
- Really lovely car to drive and be a passenger in, with loads of space and leg room. The huge windows and panoramic sunroof really make for a great driving experience, especially in the summer
- All 4 tyres around a year old
- Spare bulbs in the glove box
- Refrigerated glove box
- The boot is massive!
Okay, so onto the cons. Due to these reasons, I have priced the car at around 1400 less than the average market value, to allow for the buyer to fix these items if they choose. It is important to state that none of these fixes are essential, so it is up to the buyer if they wish to bother!
Cons:
- There is a service light on. My mechanic informs me that this is because the capacitor that controls Eco Mode needs replacing. However, what this feature does is turns the engine off and on when you stop and start at traffic lights, for example. The mechanic explained that while this can save fuel, it adds wear and tear on the engine. The replacement part is also around 700-800 pounds. Due to these reasons, I have not fixed it.
- The pull cord that collapses the passenger side rear seat broke, so the seat cannot be collapsed. Annoying, but not urgent.
- The automatic sunroof window cover works, but the fabric does not fold away properly. It has been like this since I bought it, so I just tucked the fabric away and left the sunroof uncovered (it's glass, not a hole in the roof!). It looks nicer this way anyway.
- There is a dent under the passenger side front door (pictured), caused by user error
- The "4" is missing from the "C4" on the back of the car (pictured). It was in the car somewhere but I don't know if that's still the case!
So those are the full pros and cons lists. If you need a good-sized family car at a low price, this is an ideal buy as it's got plenty of life left in it. Plus the built-in Bluetooth and car phone connection are great! Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
