Does look nice, but I'd want to know about service history and how many previous owners.

I know I'm an old cynic, but I always wonder why things are missed out.

It's a Japanese import in July 2003 ....... maybe that's part of the story !

Good spot Malc.

I can't see how you know it's a JDM import? Speedometer is in MPH/KMH and AC screen is in English, what am I missing?

I am not sure but is it the steering wheel? Mike

Date of first Reg is 2003. Can't believe it sat in a showroom for 4 years, so probably an import, but not from Japan. As Steve says, the odo and speedo is in miles.

But it is Right hand drive !!!

I think the main point was that the car is shown on docs as registered 2003, manufactured 1999.

Regardless of where it was imported from, it would probably mean a difficult history to check, and again, if a vendor misses important details out, I think it's prudent to ask yourself why.

Could be from Cyprus an ex M.O.D purchase.

[gkkes]

£906.... didn't make the reserve - worth the risk?

Ex MOD would mean quite a good service record, even if not civvy documented wouldn't it?

[ManicMark]

Might have been owned by a M.O.D personnel stationed in Cyprus. not by the mod directly is what I meant to say. When your looking for cars of this age & mileage the only way is to see it drive it & if all is good it probably is. there are a few nice ones on autotrader, Make a silly offer & I mean a silly offer its coming up for Xmas so things will be slack for dealers untill March. I got mine for £2250 when it was advertised for £4000. They can only say no & space is money.
