Default V60 polestar

Really looking for help\advise...
I’m very interested in buying a 4cyl V60 Polestar. Looks like they were made late 2016 to 2018. Anyone got any advice or know of any cars for sale?
1 minor issue is I don’t really like it in Blue!! 🤦
Thanks in advance...

They look smart in black too. Presume you're looking on Autotrader?

Let me just say make sure the one on autotrader has the correct Olin's damper fitted..
A dealer wouldn't fit stock shocks just to move it on.
Have a read on it's Mot history !

Would you consider getting it wrapped or respected if colour is an issue?

That’s a fair question...
Problem I have is it will cost me another few ££££....
The cars seem pretty resilient to low prices at the moment...
Most I have seen have been circa £27 to £30k!!😳

Only done 16k so the mot history might not give much away... probably only had one or two MOT’s at the max...
I will check though...
I have been out for a road test in it.. it seems nice and responsive and firm on the suspension side of things?

I believe Harveys is making reference to the other black V60 Polestar on Autotrader, with 52,000 miles on it and an advisory at the last MOT. (although that's a 2015 3.0l)

"Offside Front Upper Macpherson strut damaged but not seriously weakened Slight play in bearing ,requires replacement (5.3.3 (b) (i))"
