The first one for me, its been well looked after. Dont like the aftermarket dials bit that can be changed.

Second one is too expensive and is not a facelift.

Third one is ok but silver looks a bit dated now.

Those dials were an OEM option on 4200s. Have seen them in the flesh and, on a blue car, they look ok.

Yep, seem a few with the pale blue dials......

1st or last one for me.......both face lift which means it is an improved car.......I would lean more to the first one as the seller has really taken time with the advert and tried to give lots of info......Looks a well looked after car in the pictures.

For me No. 1 as I prefer the facelifts & couldn't live with blue interior. The 1st one is nice & not sure why it hasn't sold. Maybe a reason for it. It was more expensive & up for sale before with the price reduced a few k I seem to remember.

1st and 3rd both look good. CC and manual; suggest you drive each if you can as fans on this forum of both types. I can certainly happily vote for the manual.

First one without a doubt - it certainly appears to be a well looked-after car by an enthusiast. The luggage is a nice bonus; some may also like the number plate.

Number one has been gradually dropping in price over the last couple of months. If I remember correctly it was up for 21 or 22k originally.
It also failed to make it's reserve on eBay as well.
Hence the further price drop.

Number 2 has been up for sale for yonks!

Number 3 is a new one on me.

Id go and see the first one with £16500 in cash in your pocket . wave it in front of him, be prepared to walk away if he says no , then phone him back and offer 17k, he ll rip your arm off

The first one..., low mileage, facelift, a nice colour and reasonable interior, and it is a Cambiocorsa - which at present are the more valuable.

The second - is a non-facelift.

The third - If you like the colour combination - then i would look well at this. It has had the clutch recently done as well.

I would lean towards No: 1 and make an offer, it's a facelift which are very slightly improved, it looks in good nick, mileage is not bad and it's a late 05, which I would price at maybe £16k if it's in good condition on inspection..!! Spend the £300 max on an inspection, well worth it by an independent.

Numbers 1 looks good and the paint is well polished so obviously someone that cherished the car.

The plate is also awesome but I think not to everyone's taste

if looking at No 1 through ebay make sure you reply to this Ad

Not this one, which amazingly is still live despite being reported to ebay

Car is "now" in Inverness. Might contact seller to view! Curious what excuse would come back? Maybe dreamed up the most Northern place he could think of on basis no-one would travel that far?

Well, it does say in the ad for the first one that the car is advertised elsewhere :) If it's Inverness, I'm sure Greg would oblige.

It's got scam written all over it (the second, lower priced ad, not the original).
