Thanks for the comments so far. I wasnt sure about the stitching either, but to be honest I dont mind it.
Not sure which model it is, but definately not the GT , think I'll give the guy a ring and go take a look.
Mathys, what sort of problems do you think I could encounter with a car over 3 years old ? I appreciate all the usual wear & tear items, but surely previous owners would have had warranty work done, afer all, its free.
really appreciate all the input guys,
thanks again
Phil
