2 owner car, full OPC history, 45k, special order slate grey, Manual with a decent spec inc sport chrono and a full Kline system.ðŸ‘ðŸ»
So had a good look at this car tonight....spent some while with the chap. All looked really promising. Bodywork excellent - a few imperfections but nothing you would call excessive for age, and seemed a well cared for example. I was starting to get that feeling you all know what I mean when you think you've found your next car!
I was told full OPC history, but then when looking through the paperwork and service book discovered the car has only been serviced a total of 3 times, and in the current owners 8 year possession it had only been serviced once! Deal breaker surely?? Bit gutted if I'm honest! :nooo:
Sorry to hear it. Moving forward, make a note to go through the service history on the phone - dates, mileage, type of service carried out, who did it and include date/mileage for brake fluid change and who carried it out.
This telephone screen might save you a wasted journey in the future.
Sadly it is not uncommon - people cite many inaccuracies in their descriptions of their car when they are trying to sell it. I even witnessed this myself at some prestige/specialists. I never enquired or visited any private seller but was made aware of the risks by some good specialists.
I hope you find what you're looking for in this season.
