I'm looking at buying an ex-company owned 406 HDi 110 GTX Estate (45k miles, 2001/51) from my employer. I've spoken to the driver who had it from new. He tells me it's never been crashed or needed any bodywork repairs, never been smoked in and been well looked after. But it has needed some warranty work, namely: New head gasket 3 months ago New engine management ECU after original failed New discs due to warping New radiator I had a look at it this morning and it looks very good for its age & mileage (I've looked at a few). I'm on the verge of buying it, but thought it worth asking here whether the above failures should ring alarm bells. Are they likely to be one-offs on this car or is it the case that once e.g. the head gasket has gone it is likely to re-offend on a regular basis? Also, there are only 2 keys with it, one without buttons, and one with. I'm told that this is normal and that only the Executive models have 2 with buttons. Can anyone confirm? Is there a radio code with this model? I noticed a slight squealing from the power steering pump area (could be from the accessory drive belt), didn't seem to be a real concern to me, but should it be? They're asking just under £7k, which includes a warranty worth approx £300. Is £6670 a fair price? TIA Mark
