I'd ask for the report. Does it come with a warranty? That would be great, and add a ton of confidence.

CV Boots, water pump, RMS, IMS, MAF sensor, AOS, and more (search the forum, you'll find plenty) typically need maintenance at some point in these cars life, so if you can't tell what's been serviced, and / or if it's not warrantied (even if it is), I'd probably get an independent PPI done.
Hey guys,

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. lol I know the carbon stuff isnt what I make the decision on, just trying to give you a sense of the car. Assuming it is well maintained, I think the aesthetics etc are the next thing that come to mind! For me, anyway!

Are there any big ticket items that consistently come up with these cars? Ive done a fair bit of research, but havent come up with any glaring issues that I should expect to present themselves. Would you agree?

Thanks again
