As nice as it looks in the photos you have to take into account that it is being sold by a car dealer. They will market the car in a way that may not be the honest truth. The angles of the photos may be done to try and hide things.

Things like magazines and picnic baskets are easily added to try and take attention away from reality.

I can see a few things on that car that are impossible to replace and some of those things look a bit scruffy.
I can see things are easily replaced and those things look new.

I would recommend spending a fair bit of time looking it over before before laying down a deposit.

Be interesting to see peoples thoughts on the one that just sold in Wagga that i posted up the other day. Was equally as nice and 'original' but 1/3 of the price.

I love this one though.
