Good to see familiar names on here :)
Been a bit out the loop car wise, Unfortunately change of Circumstances required a car that was easier on the gas! Have been running a nearly new diesel TT roadster for a year and a half now! As you can imagine its a Bit of a change to my old GS!!!! Still miss the the noise (& lots of things!) not missing the economy! But that's not what masers are about! Although I do enjoy near 50mpg at the mo :D

Seemed to Have started looking at cars again! ;) (looking at csl's & 996TT's too!)

Do miss my CSL Chillo......The best performance car I've owned..........Drove a 996 TT ..Bloody bonkers......

So question is...This GS has been for sale for an age with another love it or hate it interior....This one is a 2004 and only 28k on the clock but is it still worth 9k more than the red one......

No link there Andy, but I think you are talking about the one in Bristol at Hamiliton Performance Cars.

Only had 1/2 the services it should have had
Rear bumper has been painted and the mesh along with it
Front bumper has damage on the splitter...think it was cracked
The interior was minging and needed a dam good clean [That was back in Oct 11]
The interior is not as shocking in the light of day, but does show lots of water marks etc

overlap! I hadn't noticed the front and rear, as I was put off by the interior, so knew I wouldn't be buying it. Nor did I bother to check it's history. It did drive well though, which was my main purpose for going to check it

Also it does not have HID [Xenon] lights!!!...still cant understand why these were not specked by the first owner given that they were only 1% of the cars value!

I know how poor the up-grade lights are so god help anyone with standard.

Thats the one Pete/Mark......So not that good then Pete.....so never worth 24k then.......Don't mind the blue interior and the 80's Primark trainers cloth...

It was the interior that put me off, so didn't look closely at the detail. Wanted full leather, and budgeting at 25 max there weren't really any at the time

I have to say, that pale blue shows ALL the stains and marks, and there were a lot they were struggling to clean off at Hamilton's
