ebay 'BARGAINS'

[fiatdaft]

It sure does.

Investor Opportunity! Volvo 760 GLE Saloon 1984 34,000 miles! Valued at £9,000

 

£6000 BIN!

 

Quick - phone your stock broker. Get this in your portfolio and watch it just go up and up!!

 

I felt compelled to go and look at this once more - was anyone here responsible for the first two offers?

 

[AeroNautiCal]

I offered £1:37.

 

I've offered this amount to several morons that place idiotic listings, and some of them get quite upset!

[CYANIDE STEVE]

Can you register a Tata Nano over here??

 

The listing does say ready for uk roads but that doesn't really explain anything as far as registering etc.

I doubt two and a half grand is otr price either.

Brand new Ebay Bargain

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tata-Nano-Bra ... 43afd3d4c0

 

Two questions:

What the fuck is a stepney?

Are these things even legal to sell in Europe? You know, type approval, crash testing and all that jazz.

[Cavcraft]

I'd roll in that just for a laugh. I've mailed the seller asking him a few questions, let you know what he says when he replies!

[wuvvum]

I would imagine you'd need to get that Nano SVA'd, or whatever they're calling it these days - it can't be any more unsafe than some of the kit cars that make it onto our roads, surely? Emissions might be a bit of an issue though...

You bad man!

Is one of those questions 'will you swap for a Corsa automatic?'

If not I'm sure we will all be very disappointed.

The Stepney bit had me confused too. (And I used to live there!).

 

Curious about the legality of this horror in the UK, I emailed TATA Motors and asked if it met UK legislation for road vehicles, be interesting to see what they say in reply...

[Alexg]

That Tata Nano ad stinks of a scam to me

[Ross_K]

Turns out MIRA (I thought they made showers ) crash tested one.

 

A frontal collision doesn't look to nice for the driver's arms and legs, but it probably beats being squished in a G-Wizz.

 

Who'd want one anyway? Aixam are already building this kind of guff and they don't exactly fly off the shelves.

 

[Cavcraft]

I expect they'd knock a few out to to 'green' types who are thinking of the environment by buying a small, 'economical' car as well as those who want a brand new car without realising it's probably worse than a 25 year old Lada Riva that's been used in a salt mine and never serviced.

 

That said I'd definately have just because it's probably absolutely awful and likely to be a nightmare to live with. What else could you possibly ask for?

[Ross_K]

A 27 year old Corolla is NOT worth €1600, even if it is a "real flyin machine".

Good point. If G-Wizzes are road legal the surely the Nano must be.

Been a lot of talk about them being sold here in future but yet to see any real evidence of it happening.

I want one of these Tatas

Buying one of those would make for instant shite hero status...

It looks as though it should have sweeping brushes mounted on the front and be driving around the town centre in the pedestrian precinct.

[messerschmitt owner]

it has a cute wee face!

 

aaawwwwwwww

 

Needless to say, if I showed that to SWMBO, she'd want it too!

[ashmicro]

That's CUTE!

[Cavcraft]

Looks more Magic Mushroom than Magic Iris, but it's class alright and needs to be over here on sale.

[catsinthewelder]

With the demise of Daihatsu in the UK, I'm not ruling out the possibility that work may provide one of these

A G-Wiz is a quadricycle, so not subject to crash testing. Tata Nano is a car, and would have to be fully crash tested if it were to be sold here. You coud import privately if the vehicle is SVA or IVA type approved. Doubt this has happened.

 

Tata is planning European Nano sales, but with a heavily modified version - not the Indian-spec Nano in the pic.

 

The Indian Nano looks like a Mitshubishi i "reimagined" by Yugo.

[gricer]

Tata actually builds these electric vans in the UK. The Tata Ace is imported without a powertrain and the electric motor and battery pack is fitted here. None of your fancy lithium ion batteries - just a big slab of lead acid batteries under the floor.

 

[TagoraSX]

Nice but 10 grand?

 

Also, that engine bay looks like a nightmare to work on. Is it standard?

Awwwww CUTE! I love the way it appears to be leaning forward, eager to get to work

Actually you missed his latest rant on the fourth listing just before it finished, where he was calling us all disgusting for making derisory offers on his car. That must be £50 on ebay fees so far?

This is still my favourite comment about this car:

 

The car needs a handbrake cable because coins got stuck .

 

What a knobtard.

[dollywobbler]

I'm loving the Magic Iris. Not sure it'd cope with the hills around here though...

I wonder what happens if you brake really heavily in it?

 

 

@ that 405 again,: he's kind of starting to lose sympathy for having to flog his assets due to unemployment, to now just looking quite arrogant with what he wrote and carlo quoted.
