I was going to get an auto but the manual was fine. So happy with that.
Checked for rust and all was good. Just a few stone chips on the bonnet and minor scrapes on the front wheels.
Also a few marks on the silver interior trim but nothing that can't be fixed.
The only external issue was a crack in one of the fog lights so will need to source that.
For the price it was a bargain as it had only done 5000 miles between 2010 and 2011 and had a full service history.
Just need to sort out insurance. Do American car insurance places like Adrian Flux cover them?
Also want to change the head unit as I can't live without my iPhone. And probably get some rear parking sensors fitted.
Can't wait though until I get it next weekend.
