Looks like one of these is going to be the winter hack once the focus is sold, allowing me to save cash for the next toy.

All I know is its a 1997 black and been well looked after by an ex military mechanic. The air suspensions been binned for coil suspension.

What generally to look for when I go to see it? I've been in it before and it took me 400 miles without any issues I'm quite confident it's a good one. No visable rust I'll get under it and check there too. Quite excited tbh

BMW engine I think, have a few hot start problems apparently.
Air suspension fucks up a lot but obviously not a problem on that one.

main problems with ranges is elsectrics, if they start to go its normally a chain reaction and can cost a lot of money.
