Hmm, not sure that being a year or so newer, having the 3.2 engine/geartronic and low mileage make it worth £5700 more than our 190k manual D5...

Doesn't look like they're making much of an effort to sell it either, blurry photos of an unwashed car showing 10c on the temp display suggesting they were taken months ago... Rusty discs from standing on the pics with sunshine... Nah, we'll stick with our ex-taxi for now

(I'd much rather have a car that's been in constant use than one that's sat a lot, this could still have many age related issues that have not been addressed yet as they haven't shown with the low usage, and the overall condition doesn't warrant a premium either IMO).
