Its only done 40k miles , she paid a lot for it but the garage only offering my parents 3.5. I have driven it and its excellent . Obviously its not the best on fuel , its extremely well equipped and a bit OTT for my needs.

I wonder if anyone has this kind of car here (lots of info on the diesels but not much on this petrol turbo from my internet searching).

Is it a very costly car to maintain, good reliability etc and what are the things to look out for ? its got a full service history up to last year when due to circumstances it missed a service but drove very little...
