Given the type of mod that has been done I suspect it has been driven by a chav so I would have a good nose at the service history and make sure it has actually been serviced in their ownership. Too many chavs believe that oil and filters last forever. also worth checking the clutch and handbrake to ensure they haven't been car park fwd drifting at le mcdonalds.

On a purely financial level, that could make sense as a swap but you have to promise that you won't bond with the thing.
Oh, and European law states that the handful of Tigra drivers who aren't employed in the hair and beauty trade must look like this charming soul:

You have bank holiday weeks in France? lazy locals!

French logic in one sentence there.

i will rephrase that, all the bank holidays which fall at the weekend. the English bank holiday system is better

just had an offer for a swop with a 750 vfr??? not enough wheels for me..

still no word on the alternator, chap is still on Holiday.. id made a mistake with the tigra, sellers have the same name, this is the real one http://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/458098998.htm?ca=18_s

its standard but has a lot more milage...

standard is good. it is much less likely to have been abused.
would you have more miles but regular servicing or fewer miles and still on the factory oil?

i just want something i can move on easily.. need the cash
