Details please


Ive been after another one for ages, mine was mint but i sold it at the time to buy other things.

All the decent ones are in the worst scenarios, for example theres a 77k minter for sale but its a 5 door automatic

Ive been waiting out for a mystic blue or grey mk3 vr6 3 door for ages now and none have turned up!
