Waaahhh blew me away! so powerful and smooth <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> But then after I take to my mechanic to check, found some oil leaks between the GB /flywheel/ engine mounts underneath. Also my mechanic confirm the car engine has been recently overhauled (a few months ago). Then the seller said he did do some engine servicing and to change the piston rings but his mechanic knows more. After asking his mechanic, he confirmed that the engine undergone full overhaul a few months with some internal wear/tear parts replaced. So the car should be good for another 100k miles. Hmmm I wonder why he did not share this info earlier! Suspension is just standard but he used M sport coils which is not working that great together. Also sussy coil mounting plate issues. Car had no accidents. Apart from that some minor electrical and GPS non-synch error codes. My mechanic trying to work out the costing for the sussy replacement and etc and also want to check the oil leak further. Tomorrow going to meet the seller again to discuss. Do you have any experience with ezcare warranty? I am thinking of taking this warranty for 2-3 yrs for peace of mind but I am not sure how good is their services and efficiency when you actually make a claim. Plus they only been around for 5 years now. So I am a bit skeptical about it. So all in all it is still not 100% confirmed purchase as yet. If the seller willing to drop the price to compensate then it might be a good deal. The interior is good and there are room for some improvements with detailing. Will keep you posted with outcome. I think I should be able to finalize this car if all goes well within next week. Just hope nothing major with this engine overhaul & oil leak issue. Got me a bit more concerned now! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite12" alt="o_O" title="Er... what?    o_O" loading="lazy" data-shortname="o_O" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite12" alt="o_O" title="Er... what?    o_O" loading="lazy" data-shortname="o_O" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite12" alt="o_O" title="Er... what?    o_O" loading="lazy" data-shortname="o_O" /></blockquote>
