I have!!!

good cars, really liked mine. running costs are expensive.

make sure that the cam belt has been done, some people quote like 1500 to do it, specialists more like 500, but unless you bargain for it, try and get one thats been done.

there is a forum about them.. cant remember the name but they were helpfull when I had mine...

google is your friend

well speced, gotta get the leather and climate...

just buy with eyes open as its the same as any 10year old 30k car...

they may be able to be bought for 3k but still have the running costs of a 30k car and so some have not been looked after...

stick a filter and stainless on it and the 5 pot sounds spot on!!!

would have another
