Is it a 463 or a 460? Though regardless of what it is, it sounds expensive for that mileage...

Hi FYI DVLA search reveals.........first regn 1990.... current regn issued on the 18/06/98 tax/mot due 01/06/08..... would appear to have had a different regn No at date of first regn.only the service history book will reveal that info....you need a full service /owner history to justify the price asked also a close look for water under the front mats....would indicate wiper spindle wear....exhaust condition ..expensive to replace...front wheel bearing wear...rock the wheels top and bottom Any play is sign of bearing wear ...expensive to rectify......engine compreesion back pressure...remove the oil filler cap at idle when hot...any smoke indicated compression blow by...costly to rectify.....if the diff locks have not been used don't try them in case they stick...easily fixed......abs warning light ...should come on and go out in 30 secs any variation could be a problem ...expensive to rectify.....sunroof can stick if not used often.....aircon.... panel lights......central locking all need checked.....gear change auto for kick down...manual for sloppy gear change have a good trip and a successful purchase

Nearly £7000 Sterling. 150,ooo miles

Ouch... as recent trends have shown, the 463 is getting cheaper...plus factoring in transport costs etc.. methinks Max is right

Did you purchase?

What was it like?

Any pics to post?

If you did, hope you checked out our very fair and equitable Vehicle castration tax (VRT) before you bought as you now have another approx. 3500 euro to shell out and thats before you pay the 1100 road tax for 1 year.

Welcome home to Ireland the land of the many thousand welcomes.
(issued by your local friendly revenue commissioners within 3 days of arrival ------ see you real soon!)

Regards,

Mike

Ah, now thats a different angle on a fast refurb.

Well wear on your purchase, congrats. Its nice to see another one come across the pond every now and again.

Going back to the leather any harm to ask how much and does it include door cards all round.

I ask as I am interested in making the same change to mine. Maybe they would make two sets as easy as one now that they have yours as a template. Mine is a grey interior trim and seats.
This is a genuine enquiry, possible opportunities like this don't come along too often.

Regards,

Mike

PS Obviously would fit them myself. Thanking you in anxious anticipation.
