seems like a bargain tam but imo go on body condition as this can be costly too correct also its a 2.2 z22se which is same engine as mine and its a peach of an engine as its smooth ,powerful and very surprisingly economical but pay particular attention too timing chain as thats this engines achilles heel, ive priced up full timing chain kit and its about £100 and at least that again too get it fitted. ls spec is actually pretty good and theres not that much really too seperate it from sri spec and chances are it wont have had a hard life that most sris will have,deffo worth a look imo,im just really looking forward too getting mine the way i want it but just need too sell the xp first too free up some funds lol

the advert doesn't say anything about the timing chain but i'd imagine if it has a fsh then it should have been done, but if i go for a look then i'll make sure i check lol

bodywork looks ok in the pics, couple of chips on the front bumper but what looks like a spot of rust on the rear driver side door.......

VX wont do the chain for servicing until 100k Tam, but at 82K it needs doing, don't listen to VX, either make sure its been done or use it as a bargaining chip as its going to need doing. Other than that, as Pogo said, its a great engine, perfect for the Vec B just a tad week in the C :(
