At first glance, this doesn't look too bad for £325. Yes it's rotten as a pear, but old commercials do make good money these days.

Then you read the listing and discover that the starting bid isn't for the whole truck (or what's left of it), but just the cattle pen on the back - i.e. a few bits of old plywood nailed together and with the paint flaking off. I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that the number of people in the UK who own a J4 pickup and are after a scruffy cattle pen to put on the back is somewhere between zero and none, and the number willing to pay £325 for the privilege is even lower.

Exterior is 90%, to be perfect it would require 2 wings and a sill (but would mint then)

 

with a full 12m mot

 

Anybody else notice that? Needs a sill but has a full MOT? Sounds dodgy to me...

I presume he means a new sill to make it mint, but the current one passed the MOT?

Quite possibly, but if it's so bad that it needs replacing rather than rubbing down and painting then surely it shouldn't have passed?

Overpriced or not and regardless of what anyone on RR thinks, it sold within three days apparently.

 

Whilst its more than I would pay there is a market for very, very good condition cars of this type even when they are seemingly very expensive. But I suppose if you want a good one and have the money then its worth it...?

There's also the fact that dealers have to find these cars, often travelling huge miles just to find that 'mint' is apparently a new word meaning 'rusty as fook.'

make him an offer at an Ayrton less than he paid for it :P

 

BTW what is wrong with making a small profit? Not like he bought it, did fuck all and then wants £600 profit out of the deal.....

 

Oh hang about, scratch that thought.

What an utter cockwand. Sticking up a half-arsed listing and completely shit photos of a car he's not selling at six times market value, and he's fart-breathing on at US for being time wasters?

 

For some reason that's made me really angry. I'm a pretty mild-mannered sort of chap, but I am now feeling a genuine need to punch that twat's lights out.

That Dolop of shite has been for sale for AGES. I think I first saw it about a year ago and shockingly its still there.

I thought you were being a bit harsh at first - it is a deliciously repulsive colour after all - but then I saw the mis-matched wheeltrims and hideously filthy interior and realised that this person is far from Doctor standard. Put some bloody effort into it if you want top dollar!
