Description

Important things first, this is a Cat C vehicle which means the cost of repair exceeded the value of the car. This is different to Cat S which was later introduced for Structural damage. To the best of my knowledge the previous owner was hit up the back while parked. The repair included a new rear back panel and a replacement boot lid. I've had the car for over 13 years and the previous lady owner had it for 9 years. As of today the folding roof, electric windows, central locking, air conditioning, air fan/heater are not working. There also appears to be a broken connector on one of the vacuum lines behind the glovebox. There's an intermittent rumbling from the front while driving which would suggest worn bushings or failing ball joints. The front tyres also need replacing. Some rust spots with the worst on the offside C pillar. A few scuffs on bumpers, and boot lid could do with a respray. Alloys need a refurb also. Engine is lovely with under 41,000 miles on the clock. I would describe myself as a careful driver and never drive at excessively high speeds. A brand new K40 relay unit was fitted 4 years ago. Has passed all MOT's under my ownership, apart from one in 2022 when using a new garage. I don't have the previous owners service history, but I've kept all paperwork for work I've had done on the car. Some new spares included: Air filter, bulbs, and spark plugs.
