As a SportCross owner theres not much to add to what these guys have said.
I've had calipers and set of alloys replaced before warranty ran out in March.
Just one other thing I would look for, and thats scrapes, marks and dents in the roof lining, and the dash trim, especially round the air-vents. Why I hear you asking??? Well if you imagine, the seats go down, and you can carry long stuff home from your favourite DIY store - so interior is now subjected to lengths of 4x2 being fed from the rear, over the seats, and crashing into the dash!!!!
I had a couple scrapes repaired on mine before handing over the cash - very impressed too, a good match can be achieved. Although I missed one - on the drivers side too!!! not happy!!!!
I've actually brought home a 12 foot long wardrobe end panel in mine - literally wedged over the dash into windscreen as far as possible, over flattened passenger seat, over flat rear seats, into boot, touching inner edge of boot!!!!
I agree its not as roomy as a 'proper' estate, but I can get the kids buggy in now without taking the wheels off first - which is what we had to do with my old SE !!!!
I see your in Letchworth Charles - I'm in Stevenage. Which garage is the SC at?? Might see you around!! Post some pics WHEN you buy her!!! You know you wanna!!!
