I'll report back, off to hopefully pick it up Monday :-)
Definitely cheaper cars around but mileage, spec, manual box, colour, PPP all perfect for me, fact it creeps in to the lower tax cost a big bonus as well!
Previous owner indeed only had it a short time but I've been given what seems a plausible and acceptable explanation, service history sounds spot on including big service (belts etc) in September.
I'm in Glasgow so still a trek but nothing like any of you guys in England would have, well worth the trip and if it's as described I'll be heading home in it. Had a couple of Subaru's before so quite excited!
