Yes indeed, great price.
Not sure about full leather though. It looks great but not being heated you are -

A) Going to burn your ar$e/back off in the Summer
B) Freeze to death in the Winter.

That's through experience. I wouldn't have leather unless they were those posh BMW/Mercedes ones that are Air conditioned AND heated.

Ah well, they look great though

I stand corrected then. But make sure you don't wear shorts or a t-shirt in the Summer. Also, you will sweat like mad and I sometimes had to have a towel draped over the seat so I wasn't drenched. Not trying to put you off, just making you aware of what WILL happen in the Summer.

from my own experience with the seats in my ST, i have never had a problem with sweating loads. in the winter they are grrrreeeeat for warming you up first thing in the morning!

A guide price for haggling is around £10,700 for a standard car at the moment according to the price guides.

I paid just over £11k for mine with the same spec (white, full stripes, bluetooth etc) bar the full leather as it seemed to expensive for what it is, plus i like the standard seats. I didn't give the chap much room to manuover, i simply told him the online quote and said match it or ill order online. We weighed it all up and it was within £100 so i went with the dealer. That was a year ago now so I would have thought you would get it a tad cheaper as its the out going model.

The price you have doesn't seem bad at all though with the leather seats, maybe there is room to squeeze another couple of hundred off Try getting an online quote for comparison/bargaining.

You only sweat/freeze on Leather seats when they're not leather seats!!

Many a BMW or old Rover owner will complain!
