Would anyone pay 11k for a 760 turbo saloon when it has the following issues?

Filthy header tank
Headlight wipers need some serious attention as it looks like a motor has packed up
A lot of seat wear front and rear for 47k miles
Discoloured front sidelight

"Only 11 made" errrrr what?

Front wings and bonnet are a different colour to the front bumper and everything behind the A pillar too! Looking at it the boot lid and rear spoiler are another different shade!

I'll check that out on the tablet tomorrow, can't see it on the phone screen.

Is there something going on with the rear indicators too? They just look off to me and I'm not sure why.

I think one of the tail lights is home to some goldfish, seems to have a line across about halfway up so might be full of water. The indicators do look a bit odd though, can't make my mind up whether they have faded or it's an illusion because of the bootlid and spoiler.

On a positive note it has Electric Windows...
Oh, and a Bran new MOT

I do wonder how much the other 10 are worth?

Pity it isnt equipped with parking sensors

Facelift saloon is the least desirable model IMHO. Doesn’t look well cared for. MOT expiry is May ‘22 so not exactly brand new and says all the tyres are knackered and the bonnet is coming loose.
