Nice bus, for that sort of money I would want EVERYTHING! To work.
A little high on the price and the kilomètres.
If you really like this car, go see and get a feel for it.
Check everything works,
Take it for a good test drive,
Check the suspension raises and falls too name a few things.
Tyre tread condition will tell you if there are suspension arm/bush issues.
We can't tell you how it looks unfortunately, it looks nice but that's only in the pictures....
 
ask for invoices for any work done because it should have a few at that mileage. like new compressor fuel filter changed gearbox oil change full service receipts. handbrake cables replaced. turbo receipt. must of had one at that mileage. if you buy one of these sports dont use the hand brake because every time its pulled on it adds it up. they only come on so many times before they stick and then some times cable snap on cogs go inside the handbrake box at the rear. ive got one 2008 done 80,000 because i was keeping it i change loads on it. ill be selling it soon.because wife has lost her licence.
 
At that mileage budget for an Autobox oil change if not done already..

The TDV8 has a habit of eating intercooler hoses, usually a nice split right where you can't see, when you hoof it there shouldn't be any WHoosh noise ;)

Check the coolant at the beginning and end of a good hard test drive, if it drops expect it to either be EGR coolers or Hedgaskets..

To that end check the coolant, look for any foreign substances, i've seen a few that have been Steelsealed, and this shít is satan, it turns to turkish delight and blocks the rad, it usually hands around in the expansion tank too, it is a bodge for coolant loss on the TDV8 and a pain in the ass to flush out..

Performance should be pretty good, mid range pull is what you want with 640nm at your right foot, it shoudln't be slow, if it is slow and/or stuttering expect EGR coolers and or split intercooler hoses.

Turbos are another thing the TDv8 likes to munch, give it the hoof and look for any blue smoke out the zorst, there shouldn't be any..

If you see anything untoward expect the worst the 3.6 is a fickle beast, little issues mount to massive ones in a short space of time..

Not my engine of choice personally far too complex and with little spece available the engine usually has to be almost stripped to do even "normal" jobs..

It’s nice but expensive. I’d choose the 4.4 over the 3.6 - its actually more fuel efficient but most people don’t know that so it is often cheaper too.
That model is the old pre-face lift model without the entertainment upgrade. Nor does it have the digital dashboard, so it may also not have the Driver Assist upgrade package, (dynamic headlight response, blind spot and adaptive cruise control).

The same money in the UK will buy you a 2011 Autobiography with lower mileage;

Can you find a better bargain if you keep looking?
