I owned a 2003 model V6 hatch about 10 years ago which I kept for about 6 months, nice car overall, modern, stylish, plenty of grunt but they are very expensive for parts and labour for maintenance. If you know the vehicle's history and it has been looked after with regular scheduled servicing being carried out etc.... then it may well be a reasonable car, but if it's just been driven and driven without the maintenance then I would suggest that with 260,000 k's on the clock it will soon be needing some work and as mentioned it's not cheap so be prepared :(
