No guarantees, but if the one I'm going to see is as nice as described, it will be hard to resist

Did you buy it? [emoji102]

Yes the one in Huddersfeild.

 

[Pistachio]

How was the car @Matthew ?

 

[Matthew]

Despite it being for sale it wasn't available for viewing tonight which is annoying. So I'm going to view tomorrow.

 

[imprezaworks]

Link?

Nice

Just noticed he added this to the listing "PLEASE NOTE I AM AWAY UNTIL 12TH JUNE SO WINNING BIDDER CAN PICK UP ANYTIME AFTER THEN."

 

[Matthew]

He isn't the easiest chap to deal with. I'll go view it tomorrow as agreed. If it's not for me I'll post up an honest appraisal on here for anyone else who might be interested.

 

[Pistachio]

It would worry me that you won't see the car until over 2 weeks after the auction ends

 

[Matthew]

Strange as he hasn't mentioned that to me and I've been speaking to him quite a bit about the car. My spider sense is going...

 

[imprezaworks]

Don't get that. Unless he was called away why advertise a car that ends two weeks before anyone can take it.

Seems back to front.

 

[Matthew]

According to the seller its '98% mint'. He hasn't specified what the 2% is haha.

 

[imprezaworks]

1% engine is diesel like
1% gearbox is a four speed

Everything else is splendid

Yep that's a big warning sign for me

 

[Matthew]

Right I think it's dodgy. The guy is super elusive and won't answer questions. So I've called him out. He's replied. Really bizarre character. I think he wants someone to just bid on it blind and not view it personally.

Writes Like a five year old.

On the above I wouldn't bother my arse tbh

 

[AIRBORNEGOD]

A lad off here asked for the service history and he sent him an image of a scrap piece of paper, hand written with what had been done.

 

[Jekyll]

If you can't wrote a decent advert, and even add some decent grammars, even if it is on a text message, then what does that say about the car?

 

[leeds2592]

Wonder what he did with all the time he saved writing 'c' instead of 'see' and 'u' instead of 'you'....

 

[Matthew]

I've binned it off. I don't even believe it's on 32,000 miles personally. If there is no SH to back it up it's not worth the punt. If it was £2k maybe but not top whack.

 

[imprezaworks]

What's the mot history like

 

[OssPoop]

What's the mot history like

Mileage checks out on mot history. Had a few fails but nothing out of the ordinary. Cars can't pick their owners unfortunately.

@Matthew surely this is a better buy?

I 100% agree. Will listen to offers as its just sat on the drive now, but won't let it go for peanuts x

Looks a nice car mate. The only reason I was attracted to the other though was the miles. I was going to make it factory mint and put it in my garage for long term keeps. One with 60K+ miles loses the appeal for me, for those purposes.

 

[Hody85]

I've got 2 of them [emoji6]

Small update, so he's been telling me the car isn't available for viewings as it's 'away'. He's now saying he's 'away'. It's on his drive....

Bang on his door and ask if he wants to sell it! Then offer £3k cash.

 

[Pistachio]

Oh I didn't know you had his address! I'd be having a closer look and getting some pics

This.

 

[AIRBORNEGOD]

Just a quick 'what is it worth' question.
05 RB ff
38k
Milltek cat back - month old
Turinis
FSH
Interior and paintwork in very good condition.
Belts getting done 20th June at DDC.
Not planning on selling just wanted to see if people had a similar figure in mind to me.
Cheers

£4k

 

[imprezaworks]

I'd say a touch more tbh, miles will sell that.

4250. What was your figure

 

[AIRBORNEGOD]

Around 5K I was thinking tbh. I would see the low mileage as the main selling point.

 

[Matthew]

I don't know your car but it would have to me totally mint to bring in 5k mate.

I get why you're attracted to a lower mileage car mate, but think about it. If it's going in your garage as you say, you're not going to put many miles on it at all. Then there's the fact the one posted above is £500-£1000 cheaper and it's been looked after. Better spec being a full fat and also nicer parts on it, belts done at a reputable specialist.

I know the other is low miles but that doesn't stop it being a nail. The way the seller is behaving would give me alarm bells straight away.

To me it seems a no brainer but then I've never bought on miles, always on condition, spec and history (unless the price made absolute sense of course).

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah £5k would have to be absolutely mint tbf. If I was to sell mine I'd be after 3k ish.

Zero bids. Wonder what price he will relist it at when he 'gets back'
