Probably needs just about every seal replaced from being stored for a long time .. or possibly rings and/or the exhaust system replaced short distance trips which haven't allowed it to warm up properly.
Sad to own a car that nice and never drive it .. :(

That's insane. Who'd buy a car and not drive it? I thought mine was good for 4 years and 54,000.

Yeah, I doubt they'll sell it for that price.

Tell em he’s dreaming, Like maybe and i mean mabey, if it had a few options on it but it looks like a stocka

What do think they gave the owner as a trade in for it maybe $16,000??? Now it’s back for sale for 29,000, I guess that’s why they are called Stealers.

looking at the condidtion off the vehicle, like the engine bay and the tyres on it which should be Dunlop's and I don't think they are, I doubt it has done those klm's, maybe a missprint, maybe it should be 32,000klm's????????.

Would be bloody pricey for what it is if that was the case. :

Can't be a misprint, it's written on the windscreen of the car in the first pic.
