Great spec (not unlike mine) and very low mileage, late reg

So why is it so cheap?

Before I open your car I see a 2015 Suzuka grey car for £30k today with 20k that I thought seemed cheap.

Didn’t have full leather but can’t just be that.

Yep same car.

I’ve been watching and a black 2014 car with double the mileage and a damaged wing went through bca at £26k.

Another dealer said cars be bought cheaper off auto trader than auctions atm, I can only think that when you’re spending the dealerships money you just want an easy life. They certainly are not making huge margins on the b8’s they’re buying in.

Okay so just done a WBAC quote, assuming 1 previous and fsh.

What do they say about if it is too good to be true....

Could buy this car, drive it round the corner and sell if for £2k more.

Not making any sense. Either something fishy or deal of the year

Because it has the sh1t seats

I did see a private car avoid cat d on AT the other day by putting up a private reg that had been removed. Next day came up as cat d.

I’d prefer full leather but wouldn’t have buckets again.

Alcantara seats still doesn't explain the price surely? It's not a poverty spec car with roof, adaptive cruise, sports pack, memory seats. For that price you could get the seats retrimmed and still have a cheap car.

Could be just the pearlescent paint / light but in the first pic the nsf wing is quite a different colour

Very odd

Nothing is wrong with it, as like you say the choice options are there and mileage is low. Half leather seats are a little low rent, but some like them. Great value IMHO.

Used market is generally hanging at the moment, not much confidence due to political uncertainty.

Only odd thing I can really pick up on, is the airbag warning stuff on the passenger sun visor. Normally that's done on US spec cars and not UK ones?

Was it ever available in the US? More cause for caution maybe?

Dealer has two cars for sale. Registered address is a Dental Practice in Hassocks, here:

https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-2370458082/contact

Only mobile numbers as contacts. Remain open minded; maybe a cracking deal but way off the mark price-wise on Autotrader. Next cheapest is a private sale 64 plate with 70k miles for £1750 more

I’m Away so have emailed but no reply. It’s a good deal at that money but considering a downgrade on value I’ve had on a site we own in a good part of London I’m not surprised.

Wbac will not stand to that value im sure.

Will be interesting to hear how you get on. Agree with the WBAC comment, hear they always look for ways to write cost down but usually they are way off what the car is worth privately, even in the trade, and the take zero account of options. Bet the car isn't around for long, not past the weekend!

I tried googling the company but no reviews.

I see your post about selling and the warranty, I assume you were thinking of more than this trade price.
