As it happens I owned it for nearly 19 months before I took it to Andy at Vtec Direct, and he informed me that the stealers had the balancer shaft a few teeth the wrong side of good. He put it all right and the ATR ran smoother than ever from there on in.
Under my two and a half years of ownership it's always been run on Shell V-Power.
As for the milage, ask around, people will tell you that as long as ANY car ha been looked after milage won't be an issue. I once owned a Mondeo with interstelar milage without issues.
Come and see it if you like. PM me if you'd like my mobile.
Jesus Dan, you have me tempted there too.... The missus is taking my BMW 530d sport off me next month. Her Focus is going to be for sale next week, so I might have a gander. It will be subject to insurance quotes though, I've just sorted insurance through Chris Knott with both cars, he was by a country mile far cheaper than any of the compare sites. So for that matter, I'll give Chris a tinkle and see what's what. The mileage doesnt frighten me either, my derv has 165k... and my last PB ATR had 113k when I sold it to Paul from darn south! And Baz's has around 210k now.
Thanks Tony. I bought it at 116k and afer making a few phone calls, I snapped it up there and then. Was sold the moment I saw it really.
