That looks abit poverty spec tbh. No highline computer, manual, and poor stereo, and no Multi funtion steering wheel either. As StokeBallon has said you can get a decent Manual Ed30 for simular money.

Oh it looked like it had a highline when i saw it. I thought lux pack had them. Tbh ive never seen an ed30 for 13k with low ish miles lol

Check this out:

Just done one of those free valuation thingys, I know they may not be 100% accurate but it gives you a good idea. They reckon you should be looking to pay a little over 14.5k for a private car, so I still say you got a good deal.
