    Well it's not really as it involved a 2 minute walk round the corner!

    Saw a one line advert on local FB selling page last night for a 'car, none runner, 6 months mot, £350'

    Sent a cheeky message and it transpires it was on the next street being sold by a youngish woman who had decided to sell it as it wouldn't start one cold morning and she thought it was knackered and had ordered a new lease car through work, so I went for a look, it was a dead as a dodo so I sucked air in through my teeth and muttered about taking a huge gamble if it was a non runner and I'd take a punt at £100, which she readily agreed to so the deal was done monies changed hands and went back home.

    Went back with jump leads and my focus and it fired straight up much to the obvious disgust of the seller who was watching out of the window so I gave her a cheery wave and left making noises like half a Porsche 911 (ahem)

    Here it is in all its glory





    Found a major fault almost straight away, it had a dodgy connection on an indicator bulb, managed to effect a cost free and permanent repair by giving it a wiggle.

    Apart from that major fault there's nowt wrong with it apart from needing a polish, it has a full and comprehensive history, lots of recent suspension and exhaust bits and a newish bluetooth mp3 stereo thingy, the youngest daughter is very pleased at present as it's now hers to learn in.

    I'd not intended to buy it to be honest but you have to grab these opportunities when they come up, the car will be staying, even though I could probably get an easy £500 profit, the youngest has just turned 17 and laid claim to it the minute I brought it home, which is fine as I can use it as a spare car whilst doing a couple of jobs on the Puma and Focus and not stress if I break something whilst doing said jobs and have no transport to work.

    This got picked up tonight. What an absolute pair of gems who bought it.
     
    I received a message from somebody on eBay with a decent offer - I had it up for £750 or offers. They offered £650. I'm aware that was my asking price on here, however for eBay I hadn't taken the liberty of advertising it as such (i.e. with full MOT) and left it with its MOT until the end of April. There was a phone number with the message.
     
    I gave them a quick call, sussed them out and within 2 hours I had £150 deposit in my bank. Just collection to arrange then - they live in Hull so about 2.5hrs away.
     
    All arranged for Monday then get a call this afternoon, can we come this evening instead? Sure. They turned up at 7.30pm, bundled £500 cash into my hands as soon as I got out of my car (MG is stored at my lockups - it was inside and they hadn't even seen it at that point!). Car pulled out, they were happy and off they went.
     
    If only every sale was as easy as that. I did have some other cretin on eBay ask if the head gasket had been done - no it hasn't and there was no signs of any problems. He then proceeded to tell me he would have to think about buying it from me for £650 as, although it was a cheap car, it wouldn't be cheap if the head gasket went and he had to repair it. He informed me about a lovely sounding MGF he had viewed earlier in the week that had been 'full sorted mate', so I politely* told him to fuck off and buy it.
