Default good deal? or avoid at all costs?

just seen this on autotrader

Auto Trader UK - Used Car Search - Used Cars for sale online.

its the white one at the top i saw. what do people think? is it a good deal or one of those, stay away at all costs. is it someone off here. im just quite interested, and remember a member saying they would rather buy a un-molested high miler than a lower mileage modified to hell car.

any help appreciated, its not too far from me either, while im off work.

Mileage is high, but it does says that it's got full service history.
Not a bad price but you'd have to have a good look/drive of it to make your mind up.

Either that or the black one (7th one down) But the white one does have the pro-drive on it. Mileage shouldn't be an issue as long as it's been looked after. I swapped mine and when I got it it had 124,000 on the clock. It now has 127,000 and is still running ok (I think anyway)

any ideas on cost for one of those B.R.?

i havent necessarily got the money, but if i did have it, looking from interest. would probably need someone to go with me thought o look over the car.

Sorry m8 but i got no idea on the pricing.

I shouldent think it will be much specially when you take into account the price of the car.

An HPI would be a must and if you can find someone that knows what to look for or maybe venture it down to a local garage so you can have a proper look when its up on the ramps also to make sure its pretty much all the same car.

A small magnet always comes in handy also

With the magnet you can check the panels to see if there is any filler on the car (repairs from crash damage)
