This just come up on Facebook nothing to do with me. Low mileage project 1 owner £3k looks pricey been in a shed for 9 years

 

[imprezaworks]

Why is it pricey?

 

[dann2707]

That's cheap. Nearly bought it last night but the chap didn't have PayPal. Don't think he was dodgy it's just I won't buy a car blind with bank transfer

 

[dann2707]

Double post

 

[The_Pirate]

“WBAC has valued it at £4585”

You’d need to pay they c***s more than that to take it off you the state its in

 

[imprezaworks]

If that cleans up OK and things stack up, with that miles it's decent.

 

[dann2707]

Obviously an eggy c**t.

 

[imprezaworks]

It's on here for sale?

Cs Facebook group

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah okay

 

[RichValver]

Don't get why people dont just put it on ebay if they don't have a set price

Just wasting people's time

 

[Racky]

I think because he had loads of interest, he now thinks he has the opportunity to make more money out of it

 

[Ocsltd]

Nobody concerned that the pics have clearly been taken in a travellers camp?!
I’d be running a mile from this car / shady deal.......

 

[Archtronics]

Guy seems to sell a load of cars all from different places with terrible photos, seems slightly odd.

 

[Brigsy]

Hard 37'000 miles by the looks of it.

 

[R3k1355]

I wonder if there's any MOT history on file, any way to verify the claim of 37,000.

If that cleans up OK and things stack up, with that miles it's decent.

Still needs a good grand in service jobs, wheels refurbishing, 4 new tyres and and unknown number of brake and suspension parts.

Decent low mile cars bring good money, but they've gotta be properly decent cos the people that pay good money for them have a keen eye for detail.

Yeah I noticed that. Does scream dodgy to me. I'm staying well clear now. It is on other Facebook groups

 

[steve99ben]

If it was all sorted as there is a similar one on eBay with 43,000 someone is selling for £10k. Shame if it is dodgy.

Bloke’s a wet wipe.

Everyone on Facebook moaning that he keeps changing the price or blanking people that offer his full asking price.

Typical greedy banger trader that’s scared to commit because of his fear of loss.

 

[Greeny.]

In before it’s cleaned and put on eBay for 8k

 

[VIICarCare]

Price is £3,400 currently. Probably go up again!

So much for 3k or offers

Where have you seen that price?

 

[VIICarCare]

Where have you seen that price?

Was initially 3k - offers

He Pm'd last night, highest bidder gets it. Which was currently at £3,400

 

[Ant1]

Has he actually cleaned it yet??

 

[hopgop1]

If he cleaned it you would see how shagged the paint is, dirt adds value

 

[R3k1355]

and the front lights.

Which you'd normally think would polish out, but I've never seen the plastic go that yellow before and be saved.

 

[imprezaworks]

It's either going go two ways after the buyer washes it.

Absolutely mint with loads of history and no rust.

Or the opposite.

 

[R3k1355]

Does look to be dusty grime so it's probably been dry and has a good chance of being rust free.

 

[dann2707]

I've got a video of it

 

[hopgop1]

I've got a video of it

Post it!

No MOT since 2013, but strangely last taxed until May 2021. I thought they were running it at first with the background noise. Does look more honest in the video tbf.

 

[Racky]

So zero history, and is it me, or the front looks bombarded with stone chips?

 

[imprezaworks]

To make that video worse but would be not to make it.

Thought that. If that was 3k now I still wouldn't buy it.

Wouldn't buy it anyway tbf (in before the comments.)

Looks like a nice scratch on the drivers door too

There is a lot of work to do. Like someone said, you nees tyres, cambelt, deep clean, change all fluids, see if any of the rubber components perished. It might be low mileage, but I would go for one with more mileage and better life.

And to be honest, to start a car after 9 years, before doing a full change of fluids its crazy from my point of view.

 

[imprezaworks]

I think it would be fine starting it.

I bet once washed it doesn't screen cherished 37k car.

why hasn’t the owner done anything to make it more sellable? The way he took out the manuals was really weird what was he trying to show. I mean he knows it’s worth good money in clean working condition. It’s not worth three grand I mean it wasn’t stored because it was an appreciating classic, it was stored because it was not worth fixing when it went horribly wrong by the looks of it, the paint is so bad it must have been resprayed as it’s all flakey and mankey. I see cars advertised all the time that look perfect in photos and then look like they are a write off when you see them in real life, if that car looks that bad on the video the real deal will be horrendous.

Just looks like the paint work is wet not knackered?

Possibly but what makes me think otherwise is the bonnet and the passenger side wing, the yellowing on the plastics would point to it being stored in direct sunlight and not inside as that’s damage done by uv rays. But it’s hard to tell, I hope someone on here buys this I would love to see it restored by an enthusiast with an accompanying build thread. But the kind of person who would buy this car wouldn’t give £3000 they would look at the parts value and add a chancers % that it’s fixable. Maybe a YouTuber might buy this for content.
