That Sprinter is minging, they can be a very expensive thing to keep too.

If you buy one that needs brakes all round, handbrake cables and tyres.

The handbrake design on these is seriously flawed, they have a poxy little set of brake shoes inside the discs that always gets destroyed

by drivers pulling them on while moving, the cables stretch badly too meaning they run out of travel on the ratchet quickly.

 

Quite, good for fleets/nearly new no doubt but I would not have another older one.

I would think that shagged 300,000+ miler would still break easily, seems odd to try and flog it.

what is it with some peoples.

 

Take one pair of 40 year old strommies.

 

Rattle can them silver

 

Advertise them as "in excellent condition" and photograph them with all the over spray in the background.

 

Then slap them on the bay at 10 times what they are now worth because you rattle canned them.

Yet for some reason I'd like to meet the seller,as I think he (she?) would be really interesting , wouldn't make me want to pay £5k for an old Shad with a weeks MOT and the aircon ripped out though.

that roller looks bloody great to me for £4800, it looks totally immaculate!!!!! The guy does sound like a mental though.

 

 

....clearing the drain holes in the bodywork; I have been a fastidious adherant to this as advised in technical seminars at the RREC and in their journal

Could some of these be some sort of money laundering exercise? "yeah I got that 10k in cash by selling that classic Montego innit officer"

Thought that Rover looked familiar, I spotted it a couple of years ago:

It did look rather nice but the guy's a total fruitcake to think it's worth 5 large with no tax.

vehicle hasn't been used since 2001.

 

 

This is definitely a project car and will need extensive work to get it to run properly

 

 

£2,200 BiN

 

 

Message to seller, "could I buy some pot from you?"

 

What a fruit loop

The 205 I was hoping to scoop up for breaking didn't come through, and it would appear the owner is not on this planet in terms of value;

This is a car that has a knackered starter, knackered ign. barrel and a dent in every single panel. Oh and whilst we are on the bodywork, it needs the boot floor reattaching, both rear wheel arches, a right hand sill, both front suspension arms, oh and a rear axle! £950? I reckon he's dropped a decimal point somewhere!

This may be a real, or not so real, bargain. However there are so many things to like....

 

A car that has had the same owner since 1951;

That the owner was a lucky 19 year old lad when he got it;

It has an awesomely shite period hardtop;

And that he's not some foggy old duffer now, that he knows what it's worth and some sheepskin wearing car dealer can't rob it off him to make a killing on ebay.

That Jag makes me sad wondering why the guy is having to sell it - it must have so many memories. Even if he's given up driving he must have fallen on hard times to need the cash.

 

If I was hideously wealthy I'd buy it and then give it back to him.

 

Maybe I'm just a softie...

That blue one..... 

 

 

During her 10 years of ownership, she travelled a total of 5000 miles only on sunny days, and kept the car in a heated garage.

Utter fugging horsecrap. There's no way they can guarantee this to be true. I blame the doctor entirely for this epidemic of fairy-tale car selling, where Mrs Miggins only used the car to drive to church, cos she was a nun like, and it was kept in a protective force field, and instead of shampoo it was washed every four minutes with the tears of kittens.

Also, of the beige one

 

 

 

This car has only ever been serviced as per schedule, it has never been interfered with, or worked on in any way.

 

 

 

Today the car has had the following works done.
 
New battery
Fresh oil & oil filter (Genuine parts)
All brakes stripped, cleaned and checked
New rear wheels cylinders (Genuine parts)
4x New tyres
Wiper blades
Gearbox oil replaced
Brake fluid flushed and renewed
Fuel system stripped and cleaned out
New exhaust system
New spark plugs (Genuine parts)
 
 
Way to contradict yourselves. Only ever worked on for routine servicing, but you've had the fuel system apart and been twatting around with the gearbox.

I'm sure that beige Fiesta is actually Dove Grey and was on the Bay of E not that long ago for about £2500...........I could well be wrong but I proper think it is. Some profit there like eh?

Not forgetting...

 

 

 

We are going to be fully stripping this car for a complete repaint 

 

Also the front wing looks a different colour to me...

That's an awful lot of money, but they are semi-desirable because they corrode less than the one-piece doors.
