I would say yes but I do own one lol

They are getting very rare and it's a unique bodyshell only found on the original 4is.

As for price it depends on condition and spec like most cars

Sounds a nice car

Tax is Ł230 for the year

Good cars seem to be around 3k

What colour is the car and trim ?

Is it still on original wheels ?

Use photobucket to upload pics

2k sounds fair if it is solid. I paid over that price for my one but it did have few aftermarket parts on it. The Xroc are really good group to join up to.

2k don't sound bad

Need pics of the trim, they do look better with the grey interior
