Silver, no carbon, no led steering wheel, LHD and 40k miles ... tough car to sell! I think 115k is optimistic considering a black, carbon race seat, low mileage well speced car was the same money recently.

I tried to buy a manual DB9 from them, called up to arrange a AM inspection and no problem, car sold within 1 hour, no contact to let me know.

Buyer fell through as was not finance approved, after offering over the asking price no-one got back in touch, it wasn't until 3 weeks later someone got around to emailing me offering the car (by which point I'd bought a Vantage).

Bearing in mind I was calling / emailing every few days to chase up the status of the car as it was being prepped before sale ... I couldn't get them to take my money so I would worry about getting anything out of them afterwards!

Just my personnel experience.

Car was sold by a private seller in Belgium in 2015, was on mobile.de for at least six months.

It may have been fine but it was the cheapest 458 in Europe and did not move for months. I was planning to go and look at it but the seller was very uncooperative which put me off.

Price at the time was approx £75k at the exchange rate at the time. Eventually came to the UK and was put up for £110k by a dealer up north.

The mileage appears exactly the same as it was two years ago.

This is just so common isn't it, does really make you wonder. Is it literarlly the same out of interest?

I seem to recall it was around 70,000km. Perhaps 65k maybe but certainly around there.?

Maybe you should? At least then you wouldn't have ended up with a Golf GTi.
