Another GS circa £24K

[leeq61]

Just spotted another 2005 GS which has come up for sale, they all seem to be circa £24-26K at present. I like the colour of this one but not too keen on the interior, anyone know the car?. I've noticed alot don't seem to have zenons or cruise control, was this an optional extra on the cars when new?

Its a new one on me I think. Interesting interior as you say.

Nice colour though.

Wasn't this one the Supercar Centre (or someone similar) had up for sale ages back for about £22k?

Nice car, a tad on the hight side given its mileage and it having tech cloth, but it is nice.

who drove it 20,000 miles over four years without a service?!!!

I wondered the same Allan, not to be recommended

That's why I thought it was SC one. Think there's a thread already on it.

The car itself looks pretty tidy in the pictures and the tech cloth interior colour combination is nice.

The four year gap in servicing is worrying though. Even my van that i used for work gets serviced every 8k or so...

Xenons and cruise was extra, as was things like reverse sensors, auto dipping rear view mirror, heated seats, memory seats, full leather etc etc.
Infact looking at it, it appears it has no extra's whatsoever! Very poverty spec indeed.
This car has been discussed before I recall, due to the lack of extra's specified by the first owner.

Cannot be many with that interior Geoff......Possibly the same car...

I like the interior but certainly poverty spec. Not that many of the extras are that big a deal in reality for me.

Mine has all the extras except Auditorium, not sure they would add that much value. Also have the tech cloth. Rather like it personally.

The service history thing is just wrong at the price. Annuals are not that expensive, so as a de minimise would have helped.

 

[StuartW]

Even if the options may not add that value, they can be difference between which car sells and which doesn't. I would certainly wait until a better optioned car came along

It's not new, it has been advertised at a different dealer in Sheffield all summer with 59000 miles.

Thanks Dickie. Knew I'd seen it before.

Cruise control is a reasonably easy retrofit so that shouldn't be a deal breaker.

That's provided you can actually source one.

Remember thread on this before. "Think" 166 was one of the models that shared the same part?

Good to know, I could do with one on the GS

New ones are hard to source...just make sure you get a decent second hand one.
