Thanks for the sage advice folks, much appreciated and kind of echoes my own thoughts on the issue. I haven't verified the full dealer history myself but, from the CarJam report, I can see it's a one owner vehicle - the only other 'owners' were the original dealer (twice - once at registration then presumably at trade-in) and the individual who put 260k kms on it in between!

CarJam tells me the name of the supplying dealership so hopefully I can follow up with them about servicing (or lack thereof......)

Will report back if I get any further into it tomorrow..

Well I've gone and done it, both feet first lol!!

Secured the car for 11.5k NZD. Full dealer history present, cam belt done at 170000 kms, test drove all good - love the torque of this thing!

Will follow up with some pics once it's home.

Only caveat was electric boot strut stopped working so they have concerted to manual pneumatic struts - not a deal breaker for me.

Hopefully will acquire the beast tomorrow - it's been a long weekend here for the Queens' Birthday.
