Err, no, not if you read the advert, they even changed the turbo !


That will teach me to read the advert fully...

Anyway why would a 32,000 mile car need a bnew turbo?

He does have a point, it has been said before a week ago. We don't know so we can make our own best guesses. But two cars in the last week have surprised me because of the claims made about them, it was presumed they were false and had been doctored.

However after more facts turn up the claims turned out to be true. We are all a little too cynical on this forum some times.

Right i'll get my coat, JimO you want to come down the pub I hear they have great water down there laugh

the first thing that i noticed was the wear on the drivers seat. would this be normal for a 32,000 mile car?? or is it just the short journeys

Yep, kidneys hanging over the waistbelt would certainly cause some wear in the bolster region laugh

guys lets not get carried away with suspicious comments.

It could very well be totally genuine, i know of a 23k black LE that has a worn bolster on the drivers seat.

Also ive changed turbos on cars with as low as 14k on the clock!

Age causes turbo seal failures as much as miles.

Now for my opinion, i personally dislike the spoiler, and a red LE is very nice if left standard. the wheels look familiar to the ones fitted to a vauxhall nova that i see daily (this is essex) and overall 8k should buy a TOTALLY PERFECT stanard LE in my opinion.

I agree with Rog I reckon the car is totally genuine. I could just about put up with the spoiler given that it looks like the Fiat accessory one but I would want standard wheels and a standard airbox etc etc etc.

OI!!! if the spoiler is a genuine ZEnder/FIAT item, i.e. it has fiat stamped on the underside then it can live on the le, it was an option after all... Wether its to your taste or not. you wouldnt not buy a car because it HAS options, eibachs are an option also! however if its not to your taste thats a different reason. smile

And yes my le does have a spoiler smile wink
