My advice for what it is worth. Choose carefully. These are fantastic cars and you wont get a better looking car for this type of money. BUT, it doesn't matter how well it goes or how it looks you will always worry about the dreaded Cam Variators. If you want peace of mind, make sure the car has...

Sticky buttons on my 2008 GT. Some of you guys must have similar problems. I recently stripped the audio section and it has got rid of the soft touch coating and left the plastic underneath looking pristine. The button graphics have not been affected at all. I used a meths and a large...
