As title listing spotted on E-BAY (Classified Ad) £995 - High mileage @ 300k, so check the water works out carefully and ask for proof of any head-gasket/water pump/cam-belt changes, as that task could be just around the corner for the next owner, and of course nearly forgot to say, check the condition of the gearbox operation as it's an AUTO, interesting reg. plate R180 XVX !

So hopefully within that 3 month period it should expose any problems, provided the main items mentioned /\ are covered by the Warranty !

Nothing stated about the MOT though (Hopefully they will put 12 months on it being a dealer), three owners in total, look's like a VSX spec car from the dash/ventilation system but has no headlamp-jet wash system fitted !

Never mind Peter, the next one advertised may be a manual and in Silver, IIRC the last one advertised was approx. year ago which was on a 'T' or 'V' plate which was advertised on 'Pre-loved' by some old-boy in Scotland, it was purchased by someone in the South of England as my brother was after it (To replace his 2.5 TD Estate but didn't act quick enough to secure it, I did not place that find on the forum as I had not joined up on the forum at the time it was advertised), so there definitely IS a late Silver 2.1 TD VSX Manual out there, I wonder who owns it now, any-one off the Forum ?
