Well, first thing is to REALLY make sure that you have indeed been duped. Check the ad, and save a copy via prt-scrn button on your Keyboard. Next duplicate any other ads you can find for it. Now, onto the car itself.
Pop the hood and have a squiz at the little metal badge on top of the radiator shroud. This should have the build date on it in this format 11/03
(Example of mine) If yours is indeed a series two, yours should read anything from 08/03 through to 07/04. If the build date is in this spectrum, it's a series two. If it's before, than it sounds like a series 1 to me.
Exterior is not to differant, but there are a couple of changes to look for. A series 2 should have big 17" rims with a wide blade 5 blade design, very distinctive. If in doubt of the wheel size, just check the trye's or tyre placard located on the drivers side door. Also the grille is differant. The series 1 has 2 horizontal struts, wheras the series 2 has the single strut.
Okay, interior is a tad tricky, as it is based upon the options that someone took, so very tricky to know what is standard and what is'nt. I would suggest referring to the website I gave you earlier for this.
Price wise, on average a $5000 differance between the two, so I would be arguing for sure!
