By all means please do. 100% certain on getting one and it does seem to sick all boxes just a bit higher than I'm wanting to spend.I can try and find out if he has wriggle room if you'd like?
Auto Trader values at £3.7k but dont want to go in looking like I'm not serious or low balling especially as hes got it at £5k. Plus advice is buy on condition and service but looking around the MK3 arent as rare as I thought.
Others I'm currently considering around similar price range.

The most serious contender at £4250 higher mileage but does look very clean. Dealer

3 years newer and higher mileage and admittedly not as clean but around £4000 from dealer.
Edit - Would consider MR2.
Derek - Will consider the NC facelift - especially as theres not too much difference in price but feel I'm already doing the typical list price increase.
This one is newer, good mileage but 7000.

Another example high mileage but SE so not heated seats and not sure if it has the other toys.

Higher mileage and dealer but only £6000 and 2010.

As I said I have went from 2-5-8k but then the car is 6 years newer.
Its all about bang per buck really.
Was looking to spend £2.5k when I seen the one that sold and then this one at £5k which is slightly more than I expected but then newer/more car for an 08 etc.
