What could possibly go wrong...

I saw this advertised while dicking around online. It’s an hour or so’s drive from me.

Old Merc, sitting unused for two years, advertised in questionable English...seems legit

Someone willing to pay up to £2k for a Mk2 injection Chavalier? Blimey

I know. They’re taking the urine. It looks pretty scabby as well don’t you think?

What could possibly go wrong with that Benz?

 

Well, for a start, they are the worst rot boxes ever to leave a factory north of Italy.

That's a wanted advert, not a for sale I think.

If only there was a thread for this sort of thing.

Tell me about it When they went through that particularly bad period for rust in the late 90’s they were on a par with Alfa. Most of them from that era look like a meth addict's face (blistered and full of holes).

 

Ah Felly, so it is. They want a Cavalier for 2 grand? (They pay the seller that is)

That merc is a winner I like that alot, I tried to buy a one off a guy a few years back it was bloody lovely he just didnt wanna sell it

@ Cavette.

That must have passed me by. Which thread would that be? (I’m a bit thick you see, so you have to explain things to me slowly, with diagrams and pictures )

There is a thread for this sort of thing, chaps. The eBay Bargains thread. It's had stuff from C&C, leboncoin and gumtree before.

 

Parallel threads get a bit tedious but people seem to be keen on having their own little discussions.

I know of the eBay thread, but didn’t want to pollute it with non flea bay related posts...cheers

It's called the Ebay thread but any interesting car found for sale online can be posted in it, it's not purely just for Ebay.

[Junkman]

Alan, just post them in the Ebay tat thread and get slagged again for posting them there.

 

I thought this here thread is about seeking advice on the purchase of a specific car?

[Partridge]

Well I’m not mad enough to buy it (yet). But I do like them a lot...it looks ok in the picture but only one has been supplied, and who know’s what lurks beneath...
