    'only' 4 owners since new? :rotfl:

    Nobody can really tell you anything based on the description tbh - you need to go see the car.

    Didn't even notice that bit - unless it's < £150 and you're a mechanic then yes, leave it alone.

    Personaly I would steer clear because of the engine problem, unless you are very mechanically minded then it could cost more than they suggest. If it's an easy fix then why haven't they had it done?

    The seller has a history of car parts sold, various makes, so I would guess he dabbles,so if he has still got overheating problems it may not be a simple fix.
    There will be more for that sort of price, so I'd avoid it.
