its just had a full service and full valet curtorsey of the parents
then was dropped at ours its a 130 highline , full leather black on black , factory option spoiler , 3 rear headrests ( not sure if that was an option ) 60k on clock , fsh , 1 owner from new , never wanted for anything ,
gave 2k for it
plans for the car are to keep it as much a family car as possible , but subtle upgades to make it better
exterior
bigger alloys , got a set of brand new bbs ch's 18 x 8j - 9j staggered et45's with new faklen fk452's - satin black
