Thank you. I will heed that good advice. I’ve requested a video walk round. It’s only in Norwich so not too far to go if I decide I like it from the video. It has a tow bar fitted so that would put more stress on the brakes if it’s been pulling a horse box around, which may explain the saddle brown interior!I”d go over the paintwork thoroughly the images on their website look a bit pixelated but the paint finish at the rear of the car on the wheel close up looks suspect so if you do buy definitely view in person. Again check for disc and pad wear @27k miles a lot are due for replacement a very good earner for dealerships at circa £800+
Seeing a tow bar on the car always worries me so much I wouldn’t buy it . I “think” it may/must have strained the gearbox and all associated stuff . Not sure if this is rationalThank you.

If it’s a factory tow bar then I wouldn’t worry, they will have uprated the radiator to compensate for any additional heat created by towing, plus most won’t have actually towed that often in realitySeeing a tow bar on the car always worries me so much I wouldn’t buy it .

My other half said the same thing. Would rather buy a car without a towbar and fit our own, usually. But if the factory fit one does not look used...Seeing a tow bar on the car always worries me so much I wouldn’t buy it . I “think” it may/must have strained the gearbox and all associated stuff .

In a welcome email I received it says it’s Saddle Brown leather because I asked specifically about it.That Tan is an acquired taste for sure, I actually don’t mind it and it did only come in real leather

Pretty sure that Artico only comes in black. The nice colours are leatherIn a welcome email I received it says it’s Saddle Brown leather because I asked specifically about it.
It’s all about asking the right questions though...I’ve now asked them to confirm it definitely not Artico or any other man made leather. I’m still waiting for the reply. I actually think I’d be happy with that colour although I’m still not 100% sure about the black exterior, especially as @malcolm210 pointed out the paint looks a bit odd in the photos. I’m retired so have plenty of time to keep it clean but I don’t want to be a slave to it!
I might investigate some of those ceramic coating products. get it detailed, paint correction done then coated. More research to do but that’s better than sitting on my r’s and getting fat (ter)I’m sure it’s leather however with black you will be a slave , no doubt ...
There is no doubt if you can keep a black car clean there is nothing better - even my Mineral Grey B*W shows dust etc - MB Selonite Grey is my preferred taste at the moment and seems to hide the dirt reasonable well
I have always thought that Silver was a good colour to not show the dust and dirt. I also think it does look a bit bland on certain cars
Very niceI bought the black one!

You were absolutely right about the saddle brown looking so much better in personVery nice
I’ve always gone for interior colour over exterior as I spend my time sitting inside it. Not stood outside staring at it
