Makes my £5k BG at 40k seem cheap

 

[leeds_182]

Lolz

 

[James]

Why does it look all weid from the side. Looks like it's sitting high, or the wheels have been photoshopped bigger or summet

 

[imprezaworks]

Surely a typo or getting pressure from the misses to sell the car.

 

[JB21]

Bloody hell, I've just picked up the exact same car for £5k less, albeit 60k more miles but still £6.5k is ridiculous! This doesn't even have the front splitter either and as said above looks weird like its on 17"s at the rear , also looks like it has 2 tow bars for exhausts they stick out that much.

 

[mrbroons]

Definitely the passenger side looks wonky to me, low at the front and high at the rear plus the exhaust looks odd, bit low. No mention of belts, at least mine have all been done last year. Be interested to see if this goes.

 

[JamesBryan]

Exhaust mounts are knackerd and it's been resprayed on the front at some point as the bumper is missing the black stickers.

 

[TonkaTruck]

Looks alright. If this being sold a trader and had 'MINT!' plastered all over it, it would be a different story.

Front end respray. At least the bolts are not colour coded.

 

[mrbroons]

Ahh are the Black stickers supposed to be just under and inboard from the headlight wash?

 

[bloke]

38,000 miles, one owner and with 12months warranty it's not that excessive a price. It's not abargain admittedly but the dearer they sell for the better.

 

[imprezaworks]

6500 is 4000 too dear lol

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah, here

 

[mrbroons]

Cheers James, yup thats what I thought. Didn't spot them on my BG as it's BG it's not so easy to see, but will check tonight!!

 

[imprezaworks]

I know people moan about the fact the front end has had paint, but its really no issue if its good. You can buy the stickers to go over the above if that way inclined.

It's nothing critical if they're missing.

But on a car with 38k, you wouldn't expect it to have been resprayed unless the owner was a perfectionist.

 

[ADS_V6]

The rear sits oddly .Way overpriced.Its not some garage in Wirral is it?

 

[JamesBryan]

Exactly mate.

 

[imprezaworks]

All it would take is a stone dent on the bonnet etc.

 

[bb55am]

Looks like a wheelbarrow.
and i rekon engine mounts must be fooked for exhaust to stick that far out, mine just drops when the exhaust mounts go

 

[ADS_V6]

Had my front end resprayed last year .Why 2 barely noticeable chips.So depends how OCD people are.Thats trophy money though

"Priced to sell"

 

[The_Pirate]

"Priced to sell"

I never understand this phrase.

Well of course it is you f**king nonce, its not priced to sit on your drive way until the four horsemen of the apocalypse turn up and buy once their horses chuck it.

f**k me!

As does the "pulls like a train" saying too. It obviously doesn't, does it m9.

 

[ADS_V6]

His other cars are overpriced especially the scarce 1.2 Corsa

LOL. Who the f**k submits a car for an MOT with no rear number plate?!

Never understood the point in lying about the mileage either.

 

[ADS_V6]

All his other cars have same description

This repainted, over priced POS I guess

It's previously failed its MOT in style also. :smile:

 

[Nick_Leeds]

Owning one I can confirm that 'metallic silver' is not the best colour at all.
Lol at that failed MOT.

 

[Mariusz]

Haha, as a fellow silver owner I concur.

 

[BashRacing]

What kind of f**king bell end advises the coolant level?

 

[Ben]

Anyone else noticed he's selling it with 38k mileage but the MOT checker says 41k+, naughty.
