Car is cleaned every week, and was detailed by myself last august. Cleaned, clayed, cleaned, polished, glazed, waxed!
Always cleaned with good quality products. If the car doesn't sell for a month or so will be freshly done again, when the weather gets better :rolleyes:
Bad points (every car has them)
Small scratch on rear spoiler, wont polish out would need to be resprayed.
Couple little parking dents, the car is 10 years old.
Rear wiper works, but the spray does not.
Only have 1 key. Other key was meant to be "sent in the post" but never showed up.
ABS fault. Was not told about this when i bought the car, was discovered by my mechanic, a relay has been put onto the car so the light comes on and goes off with the other lights when you turn on the ignition.
Have not tried to fix this so could be just a sensor, but thats just wishful guessing.
Drives as it should, changes gear with ease, light steering, starts first time everytime.

How it looks now
Price
I am in no rush to sell. Im looking for £2,350 as is stands. Just needs a decent set of wheels to be show worthy.
P/X Maybe a weekend car mk1 or 2 golf gti would be seriously considered. Try me though, worst i can say is no.
