Default Ford Galaxy - is this cheap? worth a look? Link now fixed

I've been looking round at a few Galaxy's, most of which have been around £2k to £2.5k, and mostly X to 51 plates, also an 04 plate at a local dealer for £5k. Anyway, I've found this on Autotrader, 03 plate for £2750

So, obviously this seems cheap for the year compared to others I've seen, I'm just concerned there could be a reason for it being cheaper. Likewise, is anyone local to the garage, can tell me anything about them? A decent place or somewhere to avoid?
I was down that way on Sunday looking at another Galaxy, and didn't find out about this one til I got home, so don't really want to trek all the way back down there for something that's not worth it.

I'll be giving them a ring in the morning, compared to the other Galaxy's I've looked at, its the newest I've found in my budget. I'm hoping I can go down to look at it, haggle on the price and agree a price for trade in, then drive it home, as I don't fancy a 3rd 140 mile trip this week to pick it up.
The 1st trip down there on Sunday, to see a supposed dealer, turned out to be a guy claiming to be a dealer, dealing from his house. I'd agreed a provisional part ex price with him on the phone beforehand, asked a whole load of questions about the Galaxy so off I went. I got there to find the car was nowhere near how he'd described it, he point blank refused to take part ex, and wouldn't budge on the price (£2195, Y plate, 127k, Ghia). The bloke was a complete and utter cock, not to mention a time wasting cnut, he knew how far I was travelling. So you can see why I want to be going down to see it and bringing it home the same day.
