So I don't have 28k for a 2012 at 30,000 on odometer. I need to get a bf version for my budget and there aren't any at 40,000 odometer reading to make it feel safer. There are log books all serviced at when it needed it comes with rwc and reg iam sure its not that bad. I'll still take it to a mechanic prior buying it to make sure engine n turbo and rest is bad I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
