So what do you suggest price to KM's ratio?
i thought $20,000 for 85000k's want to , I was gonna offer max of $17

aaaaaand the gumtree link is saying it's sold.
Gumtree link should be from the previous owner, he trade the car to the dealer....

Be firm to 17K, if u really wanna buy it. And at least do a compression list, maybe get a OBD reader to check how many KM has the car run since last CEL (If any).

So hopefully i'll be test driving a few 08's this weekend.. Anything I should keep an eye out for? Before/During/After test driving? Or are they pretty similar to the Peanuts?

Anyway, my sensible input is to just wait until an affordable 09/10 comes up. You will have a 2.5L with a pathetic little TD04 attached to it otherwise. They run out of puff very quickly.

It was half acceptable to buy and own a 2008 in 2008 when it was the latest model. Not now when there is so much more choice. Or at least smarter ones. 09/10 also has wanky red stitching on interior trim and red brake calipers that add 10kw.

Avoid MY08.

Considering the amount of money several 08 owners here have already put into their cars to get them to an acceptable performance standard (near $10 000 according to JRecardo) you would be wise to listen to them regarding maybe not purchasing them. Trolley has also put a fair amount of money into his and isn't fully happy with the figures.

Is that all? I was positive you had more money in it than that.
