That red 16i was bought in Ireland and taken over here and sent back again a short time later,not sure if the full story came out or not as to why but it's not worth anywhere near the money he wants for it anyway.

Lots of overpriced cars IMO

edit as just spoken to him and he knows nothing about what your talking about as the car is here with full documented history what I do know is there was plenty of top cars to see, the thing is the chap is no mug and he has way more cars than whats listed, I had a good look round some of them and they were top drawer

some nice stuff there
but very mixed with prices, some i'd say are very reasonable,
but others are way over priced
but i see what you mean by you could spend all day there
looks some size of place he has
makes you wonder how something so close to you can be there without you ever knowing it

He is right... Someone bought that car unseen and it was soon sent back to the dealer..

The photos of that 16i were taken in Ireland when it was for sale well over a year ago and was bought by an RSOC member.It looks very nice in the photos but there's obviously something not right since it was sent back pretty sharpish and appeared for sale again.
It's been for sale for a very long time though as have some of the other cars he has advertised,if you check the photos of them they are taken in the same place as the 16i.

Have a read through this too,maybe show it to him since he doesn't know anything about it.

Does seem alitte strange the buyer is very vague and cagey about why it went back.
