Sounds too good to be true. Most 57 GT cars at that kind of mileage go on at £15,995 at Honda dealers. Do you have a link to said car/dealer?

At that price with 12 months Honda warranty - just buy it.

I would go and buy it and then put the link up....you never know who is looking...;-)

Are you trading in the TF?if so don't expect much, the S is cheap due to time of year, so the TF will suffer the same, although proportionally less £££ of course.

Sounds like a good buy to me.

Try to get the dealer to remove and copper slip grease all of the suspension adjustment bolts. This will save possible pain and heartache later by avoiding the common, and known, issuw of seized suspension bolts. Make sure you gert a print out of the suspension settings after they have done it so that you know it has been done correctly.

Also, make sure that the car was UK supplied, not just UK spec. This will also make a difference if something happens down the line and you need to deal with Honda UK.

There's a Nurby blue GT at Stratstone at that price and miles. is that the one? Ther's a Roadster at Brindley.

I wouldn't call Nurby dark blue - anyone for a ladyboy?

I like the 06-07 version, nice interior and leather which stands up better than the older and newer models. VSA was an option at that time but they all have the later model ECU which is great if you ever want to tweak it.

Some people have had hood problems but in general they seem OK apart from a few and rare cases of MY07 engines popping or the VSA module fail.

Good Luck and report back.

Stratstone ! I hope you have a better experience than I did! I went to see a bermuda at a Stratstone garage.. I drove 150 miles to see it as the sales man assured me it was 'PERFECT' got there to find the battery flat and a huge crease down the drivers door.. then they had the mileometer in km and had no idea...
Didn't know their arse from their elbow. I walked away and was very glad I did !
One garage doesn't make them all bad I guess but beware !

The tax is pretty expensive on the 07 models so don't forget about that. Check insurance quotes as well as it can be a bit of a shock!

Other than that sounds like a good deal!

Well as with most things it was 2 good to be true. Far from excellent condition as described, the front wing needs painting, 3 small dents and scrape, bonnet also needs a local repair. All 4 wheels kerbed, and to add insult to injury the price went up to 14K. Think I will leave it a week or so and make an offer, as I know things are slow, and I may be able to bag a bargain. On the positive side, it drove really well, I love the growl when your approaching the rev limiter
