John F Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 ^ That sounds like a garage touting for work, or hoping to get the owner to trade up for something else. Most of those failures aren't a serious problem. Except perhaps the ABS, but that might be tied in with the other brake stuff. Some of the advisories are frankly laughable... engine mount has slight corrosion? FFS! brickwall and egg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TataBobu Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 That's what I thought, especially in conjunction with "lady owner". I'd buy that if I was anywhere near it, but I won't be until the 15th of April. So another one lost, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I think it'd be easier to sell cancer to someone than sell one of those things on ... does that not qualify it for perfect autoshite material? I did consider bidding on it, but then I might actually win it and have to explain to the other half quite what sinful thing I've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
