Has anyone had a look at this car and could give me an honest appraisal on condition (unless of course you are thinking of buying it yourself....).  It's listed elsewhere for le$$.

Probably an import as it's not a Q.

Yeah, maybe an import, but I guess they all are  ;) 

I've recently seen two non-Q manuals and it seems some dealers (Foley?) converted a few to manuals at customer request.

Is it true the manuals have an even worse turning circle than the autos (or do I have it back to front)?

I know this car. I bougth the car in June last year from Kew motors for $ 4000 including a RWC. The RWC never came so, as Kew motors could not supply it as promised, I reported Kew motors to the car trade commission and after 5 months I returned the car and received my money back. The car needs a lot of attention. Something wrong at the front end.  The sunroof is not working etc.etc..Before I returned the car to Kew motors, I bougth 2 new front tyres and I repaired the radiator cooling fan.The car is advertised for $ 2998 with RWC. Be very careful. I am not sure about 104K km as the speedometer is in miles. A long story. Make an offer for $ 1500 with RWC. They will not sell it for more. Good luck and let us informed.

Thanks for the detail.  I'll walk away from it as I don't need a basket case, particularly a modern one with all the potential electronics issues.

Cheers
