Yes, it's one of a kind with such low mileage. But I'd be interested to see who's paying 10 bags for a dog dick red base spec MK5 golf!

As featured on high peak autos: 

 

I love to hate that High Peak guy. He hates so many things that should be normal. Then there is another car salesman from Somerset. Can't remember the channel's name. Not quite so snobbish as HP but he is really picky (in a negative way) about  his own stock. Why would you do that?

That’s the rwd Ford tax sir, it makes anything with a blue oval and rear diff worth at least twice anything similar, despite them not really being any better 

Just like VW campers.  It's the £600,000 cosworth effect with Sierra's.

Lol 8 quid.
I've some brand new ones in a box that are the wrong size they can have for half that.
They sell them for 8 quid in Aldi. That exact model.

The problem is, when they were about, no-one would be seen dead in one. Now, there's this rose-tinted view that they were the best ever.
The Skoda was the one to have. The Lada, definitely not.

It's the whole 80s revival thing.

@TheOtherStu.. "..they were the best ever.

The car itself - probably ok.

The advert however…

‘2995 off a forecourt’. But its not on a forecourt, so pointless statement.

’you can only MoT a car with 28days mot left’ - bullshit. I can present a car for test any day I like, even the day after a successful test. However, to preserve the original expiry date it can only be within 28 days. 

MoT with no advisories - actually yes:

Apart from the failure a few days previously:

In the world of used cars it’s not the worst by any means, but the advert bullshit puts me right off. I don’t give a fuck how much it might be on a forecourt, it’s irrelevant. It’s also been hawked around the various Facebook pages locally, the starting price was £2250 on one ad. If you’re that certain it’ll pass a ‘clean mot’ just fucking get on with it. Unless you know it won’t…

‘If this... if that’ ‘If I had a million quid and a foot long cock’ 🤣

They really were to lowest you could stoop. My brother had one, slipshod wasn’t the word, in summer it had this really strong smell of a cross between bitumen and freshly moulded cheap plastic, the factory stereo used to fall out of the dash. I’ve travelled in one, there is no way you could look back fondly and say it was misunderstood. Would have one though but there’s no way you could concede it wasn’t a really bad decision buying one in the nineties.

to make matters worse, a 92/K plate could be the carburettor/catalyst version. Good luck getting that through the emissions every MOT

My mate had a Mk1 poverty spec Panda in the late 80s. I have to say, that was bloody awful too.

If I remember it was beige or light mustard or something.

That’s where you need a 5 year plan comrade!

An AA warranty on a 23 year old shitter? That would explain the £2000 premium being asked for that sweet pre-DRIVEL ride.

I think that's in the wrong thread, really. Deserves to go for proper money.

Does raise a question, though, and it's something I really don't understand about eBay: what's the point of bidding on anything when there's still four days to go?

It's Ancient but the price isn't Justified.

Not suggesting in any way that it's good value or worth buying, but am curious why it's a Cat-S when you can clearly see there's no damage to the sill, and nothing obvious to the roof. Are doors "structural" now?

EDIT: NVM, just noticed the back of the door shut
