Default Opinions on car for sale

Hi Everybody

Im always looking at Cars for sale and spotted this on Gumtree as when i find the right MG ZT 190 i would like to buy a good one.

Any thoughts on this car ?

Without standing in front of it, it is hard to say. It has been owned by an enthusiast at some point (be it this owner or last), and I am guessing a member of this or one of the Facebook clubs - the dials and the stereo, and the 'splitter' suggest this.

It has some sought after options, full leather heated seats, double din, rear blind, projectors, cruise control. The only negative I can see, is that the bonnet and wing on the left side dont seem quite right, it sits low, but it is an easy fix, and possibly the bonnet has been painted (solar red is known to suffer from lacquer peel, so this could be a further sign of a fastidious owner, a positive really).

Overall, to me, if there is a receipt for the belts, it seems about right on the money in the current market, and certainly is a nice looking car. Although no mention of clutch, so I would give it a good going over to satisfy yourself.

A v6 with a towbar is enough for me to walk away.
