"My friend has owned this car since 2000, but we sold it in 2012" Either bad grammar or something's not adding-up...and yes, I am a cynic, but there's too many chancers out there not to be nowadays, esp. in the motor trade!
Being an import doesn't really matter, to my mind (if imported in/before 2000, it's been in the UK long enough for any prior neglect to have reared its head...). That is, as long as the history prior to the UK is there supporting the low mileage.
Two immediate comments:-
1) Offset is wrong on the wheels - will have introduced more scrub into the steering and probably more unsprung weight further from the pivot point.
2) Roof's been painted body-colour, unless matching roof was an option/std in Asian markets prior to the facelift...

Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
