Anyone know History of this???

Post by bluenosewrx » Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:28 pm

Looking for any known history of this car, i had Imola before and loved it, looked patchy at times but still was real headturner.

http://www.sterlingperformance.co.uk/us ... 8306985911


Ive e mailed the guy but heard nothing back, seems a little overpriced but does tick all the boxes, just dont want to be forking out on oil coolers, DRC, Aux rads, etc

I know there were at least one Avant on here. :yellowrs4:

any help is appreciated.

The price reflects the miles and rarity

Although can go both ways in the colour and he is hedging his bets of the + side

I was looking for an Imola this time last year but there were literally none around after a few months searching.

Came across this one a couple of months ago, not sure if it's still around - http://www.lawtonbrook.co.uk/current-st ... OON-YELLOW

Buy it before it sells! Low mileage as well.

No auto headlights, wipers and diming rear view mirror if that bothers you.

Thanks Sam, I had the lights and wipers and mirror on last one, was very useful, how can you tell??? I've looked but can't see any evidence of it ! Says adaptive lights, I thought that was part of vis ability pack which includes the above, I may be wrong though.

Be interesting to see who last serviced it, how many owners and any paperwork with any bills etc

Thanks anyway

I know its been for sale a while, think it was up for just under 24k initially

Cant believe its still available, i think its one of best B7's around atm.

Buy it!

Agree, I could have lived without the auto lights, rain sensing wipers and home coming lights but the auto dimming rear view mirror was a must for me; so I had to find a car with the £200 optional pack. The easiest thing to look for is the 2nd home coming light switch next to the drl switch.

1 switch = none of the toys

Adaptive lights were part of the Tech Pack on pre facelift cars, MY07 onwards they were a separate option only and because of this, a lot of the later cars are assumed to have the adaptive xenon option when they in fact don't have it spec'd.

No problem, looks good though and its also on decent rubber which is always a positive sign that money has been spent on it.
