Looks nice, but getting on for 200,000 miles and has "a systems error message that needs removing"

Sadly, I don’t think the seller will see anywhere near the asking price.

To start with, it is a left hand drive - which puts a large number of prospective buyers off the car. Secondly, there is the mileage. I have seen far higher on a Thesis, but again......a negative point.

Thirdly, the car needs registering with UK plates etc. Not a huge issue - but maybe another reason not to buy?

The car itself has a few dings, dents and scrapes. Then there is the engine management error. When I bought my first Thesis, I learnt very quickly that - certainly in my location - there were no garages able/willing/prepared to get involved with this type of issue. Or really anything to do with a Lancia Thesis.

Having bought a further two Thesis,  I decided to purchase my own  MultiECUScan etc from Gendan - out of necessity! It has proved to be invaluable.

I hope the seller finds a good home for his car.  :)
