Good morning. Am looking at buying this car from a very good car dealer in Christchurch. Are there any pitfalls that I need to be aware of. I get my cars serviced regularly and are parts easily accessible for this type of car. Thanks.

Hi there,
Parts shouldn't be too much of an issue- either new or used. A 13 year old vehicle is going to need some maintaining, and a European vehicle might require more than your regular Japanese domestic vehicle. But the upside is a car that is nice to drive, good safety and handling. I would pay close attention to the transmission and cooling system and make sure they are in good order.
