no difference between the gold or black.....same 4 pot up front and 2 pot rears.

just make sure it has been serviced, expect to repalce the OEM pads and rotors they are pretty soft and don't last long.

check out the rear diff, they are known to leak....... you should still be under warranty

of course do all the checks to make sure the car is straight and not a rebirth.

I cannot comment as I have only just bought one myself and have not noticed any issues to mention.... Good advice from SENATOR above.

All I can say is 'I am really happy' with the vehicle. The price you are quoting sounds really fair with those low kms.

PM me with more details of the car if you don't want to post (I'll discuss what I paid as a comparison)

Wow! That was quick! You posted a 'looking to purchase' on Sept 05. It's only been 2 days and you've already acquired it! Congrats! Yes, please post up pics when you get a chance. Where are you located? Any plans for your baby?

I assume it is the sedan that was for sale?

Great colour choice and I am sure you will enjoy the car.
