Thinking of a 1m...

[dom77]

Hi guys,

I've seen this 1m for sale at Stratstone:

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...-3-0-m/6287536

48k miles, white, pretty good spec (?), £40,995. It's very recently been dropped in price from £41,754.

It seems fairly high mileage to me, but does it sound like a fair price?

I'm going test drive it today, will report back.

Its at the miles it will need a walnut bast on the inlet valves
I would say its over priced for the miles it should be closer to 34k

Can't add anything of value, but i have to say that i am surprised that they couldn't be bothered to clean up the dirt behind the number plates

Also the front seems to be a bit rough judging from the pictures. Not sure whats going on there, either photoshop fail or somebody had some problems mounting the number plate

The plates where obviously on when I took it out, and everything looked immaculate. It'll go in for a full valet before I collect, but I'll take a good look before I accept it...

So i take it, you have bought it? If so congrats


Regarding the walnut blasting, i'll take a guess and say it is because of carbon buildup. All direct injection engines suffer from it.
No clue what AUC warranty is, i am guessing its a 2nd hand warranty.
If so, then i'd say its not covered. As its not a "fault" per se.

What can be done to prevent this happening (or slow it down)?

I've not heard of walnut blasting, is that something that would be covered under AUC warranty in the UK?
