ebay 'BARGAINS'

[Guest]

NEWSFLASH!!! I got it. They are doing Brewsters Millions is it? Where they have to lose £80 million in 7 days?? Or something.

[Ben_L]

This is going in Bargains, simply because it's a £500 car up for a bag, less £100 for a "Sale Event".

Straight and Original

 

So, the paint is peeling off and one mirror is black, one is chrome...

 

To me, that doesn't demand top money. I offered £500 which I thought was generous and got turned down, naturally.

[Skizzer]

 

Hardcore shiter spec: steel wheels and non-metallic brown. Crap photos, no mention of MOT, condition or history. £3k .

PX Swap Jetski

Fuck off.

 

 

(Like Sam Glover, I'm doing my tax return this morning which obviously involves a lot of looking at shit old cars on the internet.)

[Spiny Norman]

Much as I love old Senators, this is a bit rich.

 

[HillmanImp]

I knOW this has VW 'SCENE' premium tax on it but is this chap taking the piss.

 

Automatic Golf CL

 

 

 

£3,000

I think you were more than generous with that offer. Maestro prices are still very low. I sold my fairly tidy, low mileage one for £300 with tax and test.

[RedSparrow]

^^ WHS. £250 is more like it. If you offered me £500 for that I'd take your hand off.

Sexy motor though.

[willswitchengage]

 

Flat tyre and that "just stolen" look of a missing radio and lots of wires hanging underneath the steering column. Nice, diesel and a long MOT... but a bit much at a bag of sand. Maybe I'll make an offer...

That's tasty... A real beaut... But I think it's going to take some time for people to forget the fact that they weren't selling 18 months ago for more than the £300 s/p due to the rise in fuel costs. Stunning cars though... Cheap ones bought by OMFGIAMTOKYODRIFTKINGVTECJUSTKIKEDINYO crowd... Nice ones horrendously overpriced. £2k more than a Scorpio of the same era.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Decent ones are a brilliant car though, 100 times better than a scorpio. I think these things are sufficiently good that people will pay strong money for a good one, if not yet then very soon.

[Pete-M]

I liked the one I sold to Andy CMS. Still amusingly quick.

 

Mustard mitt, I'm scanning the classifieds far too often for a facelift Bugeye Scorpio 24v Ultima Estate.

[Pete-M]

Like this one, which just scrapes into 'BARGAIN' territory. My saloon one (on an R) cost me £250 three or four years ago.

 

 

Borderline really. They drive a lot better than they look.

[AXrescuer]

Now....this will probably divide opinion....

Moar photos would have been a good idea; there's only three, the others are of the dash and the seats.

If it's been done properly...it could be worth the £7995...oh, it's

I'm as serious as diphtheria when I say that I hate this interior.

Great for rising sea levels then

[Pillock]

Re the Old Spice Capri, I saw it at some event (can't even remember what it was, some fun day perhaps) and I seem to remember it was auctioned off by Old Spice, or given away in a competition. I'd have thought it was finished to a "that'll do" standard under the vinyl wrap rather than being a full-scale resto.

WTF is the "hydrogen cell" he's going on about?

I'm amazed they're even legal - surely it's false advertising? Note how almost all the feedback is from people who haven't actually fitted it yet

Fancy a bird shit covered Merc for nearly £5000? Ok I'm being a bit unfair as it's now been washed but still, five big ones on this?!

[Albert Ross]

Erm... arch lips, cloth trim, wooden wheel, these all scream "Export to Muslim Country" before anything else.... Srsly though, nice colour, shame about the lack of leather, lack of correct wheel, and addition of those arches/grot-hiders

[ProgRocker]

I posted this Audi 80 1.8S auto in the 'EBay tat' thread last week. It was attracting strong bids and bidding ended at £1600 .

 

Now up for sale @ £3,999 - more than twice the highest bid. So it now deserves it's place in the 'Bargains' thread.

 

[HillmanImp]

Look at this POS.

1959 VW Beetle - Golde ragtop - Semaphores For Sale

 

£15,000. It looks like someone has smeared shit over it.

 

So now the car can be used as a daily driver or sit in a Garage or Museum. It has the fake rust Paint that has apparently 5 differen't colours to get the Rust effect all over with L87 Pearl White Paint as the base colour-(custom Paint Job), Rusty-Adged Dull look used on body with Yellowish tint to bring the car to Film standard and decal/stickers by Gregg Carr (official Herbie correct decals from Tampa-Florida). The interior is painted in Matt-Grey just like the film cars-I have seen x4 original Herbies in my time here in the U.k and USA and can only say that it's so near the original cars and a fraction of the price!

 

 

 

The only film that car would be used in is 2 girls 1 cup.

WTF is the "hydrogen cell" he's going on about?

 

Hydrogen is made by electrolysis of water (using electric energy from the car's battery) with an enthalpy of separation of 285KJ/mol. Electrolysis of water is roughly a 60% efficient process, probably a lot lower in a home made system.

 

This hydrogen is then burnt in the engine to make water, with an enthalpy of formation of -285KJ/mol (creating energy to charge the car's battery). Thermal efficiency in an diesel engine is roughly 35%.

 

FREE ENERGY!

[Lacquer Peel]

I don't know about hydrogen, but those VM OHV diesels run great on veg oil, which you can get for nothing if you're lucky.

[CIH]

Seeing all those nothing motors with massive mark-ups reminds me of an white Opel Manta GTE Hatch back in ~1999 that was on a forecourt in Glossop @ £2.5k for several years. Probably still is. They barely made £500 back then.
