£10k probably isn't an un-achievable price for a GTE in my opinion - specially for a 55k miler.

However, there are so many non-standard parts on that car I bet it would cost £2k to put it back to standard.

That hideous spoiler on the back may be stuck on which will ruin the tailgate sticker - even worse it might be bolted on. There £200-£500 straight off.

Also, as clean as it is, if it did 1 mile on a rainy day then it's entirely possible some of it has dissolved and without stripping out the interior, you won't know. That's what you'd have to do if you were thinking of spending £10k on a GTE.

Also it's red. My red GTE was a tea-bag when it was 8 years old and matching carmine red (if it needs a wing or boot for example) seems utterly impossible!
