It's a fair price and a pretty looking car. A 2008/58 should be okay but beware of earlier examples. There is a lot of weight forward of the front wheels and not enough at the back which can, in some circumstances, confuse the ESP. I had a very nasty 115mph ‘tank slapper’ in one in Morocco and the cars were recalled in July 2007 to rectify “possible loss of vehicle control.”
