Jan 1999. One Owner. Full Service History from point of purchase (Lockyear). Considerately driven - first set of tyres at 30K and still on original brake pads at 40k (checked at 37.5k service). No modifications. A chance to buy an honest car at a great price. £12950

More details:
The clutch has never been changed and does not judder. Wear has not been pointed out at any service.
The brake pads have never been replaced. The car was serviced (37500) and the pads were specifically checked.
The car has been serviced 'on the nose' every 7500 miles by Lockyear Garage (tel: 01403 891700). If you phone them and speak to the service manager they will give you an independent view of the car (they reckon it's a good one because I ran it in carefully- no turbo whistle, fast and smooth). All service bills are available for inspection indicating that apart from planned maintainance there has been precious little for them to do (they changed a side light bulb last time).
Always run on SUL petrol (stories about long term damage to STI's using UL and noticeable improvement in smoothness encouraged this practice). I have most of the petrol receipts to prove it!
Tyres are Goodyear F1's (first set since new) fitted at 30,000 (receipted). Full electronic four wheel tracking at about 28-9k.
9 months warranty remaining
No dinks, literally one or two stone chips - well what do you expect!
In my hands it averages 27-28 MPH.
Stereo system is original Japanese CD changer plus four speakers
alarm/immobiliser fitted when new - seems very effective and is mandetory if you want insurance!
The first 18 months of its life spent commuting 19 miles each way from my house near Aylesbury to Hemel hempstead company car park plus trips to Gainsborough (motorway). One trip to Belgium and Burgundy.
Since then commuting to Bourne End (60 mile round trip) across country simply following the car ahead (no chance to overtake even in this car)
Reason for selling? (please don't laugh). I am changing to an Audi A2 TDI for commuting and (in the future) will get something like a caterham for weekends.
OK so you've got the full story, check my facts at Lockyear - they know the car You won't find a better car for the money!
