dkonsta1 109 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 Nice specd also but the photo of the engine bay is scary. would be interesting to see how it drives. Red color very becoming with the motorsport package Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuen 16 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 Nice car. Imola is a great colour. Only the second NZ New Imola 530 M-Sport I've seen, aside from Beemn's old car. Nice specd also but the photo of the engine bay is scary. would be interesting to see how it drives.Red color very becoming with the motorsport package Why is it scary?

KwS 2421 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 because its utterly filthy under there maybe? Not always a sure sign of neglect but when its that dirty its not usually the sign of someone that has treated their car better than their spouse. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreakMyWindow 1874 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 Not always a bad thing having a shiny as new engine bay. Keeps it honest, revealing any oil leaks. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 Careful with such red cars, could have had a cut and polish shortly before going on the market so it looks good. A few months down the road you could have faded red returning / clear coat pealing! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 1056 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 "Rides like a Magic Carpet" means suspension is rooted, overall the car looks rather neglected and more likely to be a lemon. Neighbour had a mint red one Do you always look at things quite so negatively? Test drove it today and suspension was fine, small amount of paint fade on the bonnet and has about 50% of the service history but overall, I'd say its priced about right for what it is. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
