It's definitely an imported car from the UK, (the high numbers on the reg give it away) but thats an advantage for you.
Verify with the seller or Revenue in the South that VRT was paid when it was imported to ensure it's eligible for a VRT rebate after export to the North.
(Sometimes VRT is not paid if the owner was moving permanently from UK to IRL or if the owner was a Disabled Driver, unlikely but worth checking)

In terms of spec, it's nothing special. It has upgrade alloys known as "fat fives", Bose and upgrade seats at first glance.
On a high end car thats 10+ years old, less toys can mean less to go wrong.
The rear inner lights look like they may have water ingress, not a deal breaker but might help to haggle a bit on price.

Donedeal can be a bit of a minefield, not unlike Gumtree in UK. Buyer Beware etc. For about €30, Motorcheck or Cartell may be useful to check for Finance owing, previous write offs etc.
