This one has all the spec I want, love the white but not 100% certain on the red leather. I'm sure I'll grow to appreciate it.
The car appears to be well maintained with full main dealer service history, previous owner has had it nearly 3 years and the run flats have already been replaced with non run flats, so hopefully the 296 wheels will be crack free.
Have got a reasonable deal on the price, so looks like I'm joining the fold :D

Can't wait to pick it up :driving:

Nicely specced low miler :)
The coral red in reality is far nicer than pics often show so wouldn't be too concerned there .
I like the finish on the 296s but even on low miles id still be checking them very carefully .
& should we wish to drop it onto Msport springs i just happen to have a set :oops:

Looks a nice clean example with a good spec. I think the red leather goes well with the white exterior, it's quite a popular combination. Welcome to the forum!

Yes I'll check the wheels very carefully

What effect would the Msport springs have on the stance and ride mr wilks ?

Lowers 20mm approx & stiffens a little . Ive had both Se & Msport now & ran both with 19inch non runflats & can't say the Msport ride feels any harder tbh .
Only have the springs spare as I have bought a set of H + R lowering springs which will lower my Msport another 15-20mm ( or lowers a Se 35-40mm)
