    4.5k miles/6 months. Between £150-£250 a go if you take it somewhere.

    Here's a buyers guide, if you want a read:

    I can't remember if it's any good or not though

    Just make sure it is what it is, these cars have to be the most mis sold car out there, what i mean make sure its a fq and not an import, nothing wrong with imports just may affect price a little.

    If is a genuine fq it will be 300 or 330, the 330 has had the piggy back ecu, look for a hks exhaust and a hard pipe kit under the bonnet. The fq have unique numbers inside near the gear stick. Check for front end damage as they are not fq lights they are off the later MR, probably just been changed but check.

    Make sure you can switch between the 3 settings snow gravel tarmac.

    Service history is a must, like mention 4500 miles apart.

    Just bare in mind most these car are raped.
