[/quote]yes the car runs & feels like its done 30k ,im going down to nottingham to a bodyshop in a couple of weeks which is 140 mile round trip so will fill up b4 then fill up when i get back see what mpg i get . As for the interior again the seats are as near perfect for a 3yr old car even the drivers seat is in fantastic condition ,all the buttons ,controls & interior trim are spot on seems like whoever had the car b4 me really looked after it even the alloys are in great condition only 1 has a scratch on it with no curbing , as for the paintwork having prob done 90% of its mileage on the motorway there is a lot of stone chips on the bonnet , bumper & front wings which iam getting resprayed in a couple of weeks by a really good bodyshop ,there are 3/4 light scratches around the car which im hoping will get polished out when its in the bodyshop but as it has been said on here b4 the paint does seem on the thin side ,some scraches on the front corner bumper look like its been brushed against some bushes when been parked lots of little marks !

The state of the paintwork doesn't surprise me frankly, my car has only done 20K and it is already covered in little chips and other scuffs and mine spends very little time on the motorway, to say the paint is only paper thin would be to exaggerate somewhat. I am pleased and encouraged to hear the rest of the car is holding up so well though, apart from the mpg issue it sounds like you have found a good one.
Cheers
