But I'm in Edinburgh, so kinda hard to get down to buy it... But it's lovely, so hopefully someone on here can buy it!

The previous owner got some vinyls on his van, the guy offered to wrap his car, too. I think it looks pretty freakin' sweet, personally!

Agreed looks crap but just peel it off? Not sure how people can say it's not legit or written off without actual proof?

Because it's an assumption you'd make with resprayed/wrapped cars.

Why bother wrap/respray it if/when the actual paint is ok? I know some people just respray cars for the sake of it, but imo it makes people think there's been an accident!

Would never buy a wrapped car. You've no idea what the wrap could be hiding if you do choose to take it off at a later date.

That looks horrific. IMO wrapping and carbon wrap like on it's boot strip cheapen the look of the car. Get real carbon or don't bother IMO. Also people say just peel it off, but it's not as easy as that. A friends dad took an impreza in p/x for next to nothing, it was wrapped in matte black. When he took the wrap off most of the lacquer came off with it. As people have said most wrapped/ sprayed cars have a hidden past, and even if they don't the wrap will have damaged the paint underneath. Is £2750 really the book price for a 182?

This.

I'd have to properly know the car first to even consider it.
