Unsure what price to charge? Just take the mileage , convert to pounds and then round down to the nearest £500 ..

that algorithm makes a low mileage car worth less than high mileage .... Isn't it just 'think of a number?'
Listing ended now anyway...
I do hope Alan sold for the required £9500 .
He clearly disagreed with your pricing policy as they've added another few hundred quid and relisted it !!

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Ad has photos which are all fuzzy too.
Most of carry cameras which can takes much better photos than that without any effort on our part at all.
So if he has deliberately made the photos rubbish, it makes me wonder why.

Deep down, I'm an old fashioned but that belongs in the last century, but I like them. It gives the car a much more contemporary feel

Good spot John.
I'd a feeling I'd seen these lights before and commented that they looked good.

What with the second hand value of our lights it might be worth doing this and putting the originals in the loft !!

That looks a very good price for a low mileage car from a Lotus dealership

Listing this car on ebay, not a trader as has been suggested, genuinely just listing it for a friend who is not internet savvy. viewings welcome. Car has just been put through its MOT and passed with flying colours. Asking £6600, listing on ebay is below

It looks very nice. One owner and full Bell and Colvill main dealer history
I don't know the car personally but I do know that Guy Monday has extensive Lotus knowledge gained over many , many years and is very selective on what he buys and sells ! So, no rubbish !!
You might want to ask GM when the cambelt, idlers, tensioner etc was last done - I don't see any mention of this in the service record but it is important to replace every 5 years irrespective of mileage. So 5k or 50k it is well worth doing or checking that it has been done recently
