The first 2.

The Salsa red came in Yesterday,. The blue grey last week.

Spec wise its all but there for me.

Whats your thoughts....good and bad please

The blue one shows signs of more wear in the cabin photos. The drivers seat bolster and the start button look more worn. But the red one shows signs of water ingress via the bonnet vents on the plastic cover. I think you’d need to go see them in person to get a better idea of their condition.

The spec on both looks good.

The red one looks its got a dint on the edge above the RHS rear light.

TY all. Have sent them a message re the dint. Not interested in the blue one, just the red and blue/grey.

dealer says they have dedented....is that a new word.....the crease by 90%. Yes you can just make it out in the pic they sent me.

But the prices seem attractive and spec looks not too bad. Its now just trying to persuade a certain someone to let me go and look at them. Only 2 hrs away. Spoke to someone on faceache who bought a nice car from them a while ago and gave them a good writeup.

I prefer red but I am biased as I have a red 2013 V8 cab.
Don't be too picky as it is a 12yr old car, I paid £26k for mine with the same mileage so there is some margin in there.
I would also budget to retrim the steering wheel, replace the steering wheel buttons, replace the paddles and start/stop button .... circa £4-500 depending from where. It made a huge difference to the interior.

I have had a look at the mot history that you can check on AT. The red car. The previous owner appears to be a lazy sod with his brakes and tyres. The Blue/grey car, not 1 advisory! Thats says a lot to me

It's a cheap F-Type at that price and a 12-year-old car, so I'd expect a few blemishes.

I'd be more swayed by the service history personally - check it's had the right jobs done on schedule, not just a load of oil and filter-change services at a local garage.

Agree the MOT history is a big tell too. I'd be led by those things over spec.

Agree with the history. The Salsa Red is a nice colour but perhaps a bit too flash harry.......maybe? The blue/grey seems quite unusual.....and as you stated , its MOT history is unblemished as opposed to the red one

Satellite Grey was a launch-year colour, discontinued in 2014 I believe. So not many about.

Personally I think it's one of the best-looking colours and particularly suits the F-Type.
