Default Anybody recognise this UK Blob?

Its on its 10th owner and no service history other than what the current owner has. Is £5k alright?

Unless a cheap car,FSH is one of the most important things on my list as you have no idea how the car has been serviced/maintained

obviously how it sounds/drives is more important but I have viewed cars with 70k with no SH that are a bag of sh*t and viewed identical vehicle with a 110k with FSH has been 10 times the car mechanically but it's your hard earned.

That's a silly price for a JDM. Must be a CAT D...

Shouldn't it's presence on gumtree be enough to put people off?

Thanks for Your replies. The thing is, I don't usually buy Cars without FSH but I usually spend £15,000+ and was thinking if I kept it for a couple of years and got maybe £3000 for it then that's no biggie

good points..
4 nearly new Wintrac tyres
New Bilstein Coilovers
Timing belt and tensioners just done (with receipt)
HPI clear including mileage check

Bad points
No service History
10 owners

Also I didn't know that 53 plates came as Widetrack

Thanks y'all

I don't see how? It's free to place ads and if it sells then why pay money to Autotrader or Pistonheads? There is a very wide audience on Gumtree nowadays, seems to be one of the best ways to buy and sell for free.

10 owners? 89k miles? Less than 9 k miles on each owner, gotta wonder it must have attracted a couple of bad eggs. Having said that I agree with the first reply to this thread, it's how it's been looked after!
