Anyone know of any coupe with less than this? If its genuine, in reflective condition and correctly cared for, then for the price it could put "The Doctors" car at GTi in the shade.....

Didn't think the Plus came out until V reg? Seems a bit daft to try to sell a £7.5k car without taking pictures

Looks like a plus from the pictures, except that it doesn't have red brembos.
We shouldn't slag it off though - could be a genuine car with a decent owner.
Would need to have had cambelt done though regardless of mileage............

Indeed, it does - apart from the red Brembos, so presumably it's a 20vt[6]. The pics weren't there an hour ago

The pics weren't there an hour ago Quite right. Piccies now show no Plus calipers or body kit, so a turbo 6 then. Owned from new for 10 years, but unaware its not a Plus I guess means not an enthusiast/visitor to/from this forum?

Cheeky, but I like you...... Come on people, must be someone who knows how to clean up a zoom image so the tax disc can be read? It isn't CSI you know we can't actually do that kind of thing

Anyone who buys a coop and keeps the mileage that low has to be an enthusiast of types, which makes me wonder, if it is his pride & joy, why arnt there more pics, and more details about the history? and reasons why the mileage is so low? me suspects a recon..... or a missing 0 !

Hmm if there was a missing 0 then why add "genuine miles" to the ad, and also "only 10k.." etc. I'm wondering whether this is one of those people who thinks that replacing a knackered old engine and putting a new one in 10k ago means the "car" has only done 10k

Hang on, has anyone considered that the guy might be trying to sell a genuine car - benefit of the doubt and all that!
It looks like the photo may have been taken at the Goodwood Festival of Speed car park. Its possible then that he's a car collector or something, and has the choice of many cars to drive - hence the low mileage.
Has anyone been to take a look? I agree. Why is it impossible for an 8 year old car to have only 10,700 miles. I bought an Audi A3 a few years back, 5 years old with 7,900 on the clock. My mate Brian bought a 1996 Alfa GTV last year with 22,000 on the clock. Low milers do exist!!!

Low milers do exist!!! Very true - A short while after buying my 38k mile Integrale (when it was 7 years old), I got to view one of similar age with just 1,900 miles recorded (mind you it was up for £9.5k more). Still confused though that if the seller has owned it from new, then why they originally listed it on PistonHeads as a PLUS? If they were not an "enthusiast" or expert and had bought it second-hand badly described then I suspose its possible to own it for years and then list it wrong (especially as the DVLA document normally just states 20VT and not PLUS/LE/Turbo 6 etc.) But surely to have purchased new, then the original purchase price/receipt detail/brochure/extras etc etc surely would have given it away 10 years ago in the showroom that it wasn't a PLUS....... if PLUS's were indeed even for sale on a T plate..... Unless he got stung by the FIAT Dealer ...... Possibly a very nice, well maintained and cared for, exceedingly genuine low mileage Turbo 6 that someone will go to see, drive, inspect, love and purchase.

Can we please get back on topic...........? You don't see me (or Matty my alter-ego) dragging threads off topic willy-nilly, do you? Anyway, after that irony attack, who is volunteering to contact the owner for details?

I have heard from the seller, the mileage is genuine and backed up by a service history, its not a full history as it has been serviced on mileage as opposed to age, so the cambelt hasn't been done yet, nor have any other major parts.
It was a second car, hence the low mileage and is now being sold due to extreme lack of use.
The chap seems very genuine, as does the car, although it will need a cambelt change at the least.
So there we go, a very simple answer for what was really a very simple question....

So it's probably only been serviced once in its lifetime as it's done less than 12k miles Reckon one would need to add a grand to the price to get it fettled by PF
