They have all manner of monitoring systems in place for sellers, most of which rely on the honesty of buyers when filling out feedback / star ratings, but it looks like buyers can do whatever they like!  As long as eBay are getting their money, I doubt they care. 

They even allow the sale of vehicle V5 / log books like this, as 'memorabilia' but don't get me started on that

his attempt to hide the info on the V5 is just laughable

its registration number is UJX373X :) 

just so the registration UJX373X is now in a searchable part of the internet, should anyones Escort go missing and suddenly UJX 373X appears, looking a lot like your missing one!

I'd quite like a little wankel

I've no idea how to price a mk1 Cav nowadays. They were utterly worthless about 15 years ago, just as Manta prices were starting to take off. 

Generally at least a grand less than the equivalent Cortina, I would reckon. But the low end of that auction estimate does seem ridiculously low assuming the car has a recent MoT and is not fucked.

Having said that, where is this auction again? ?

Have we had this little sweetie yet?  Probably a bit* rusty, but still would.  Shows how much prices for these have gone up though, when a rough one is already at 770 quid with nearly two days left.

This 3-dr 2.2 manual SRi is cheap as chips and has already failed to get a single bid at £500 once, now its £250 and is still barely getting a sniff. Wanky coilover suspension fitted but it still looks decent.

 

The mingebag models are ace in their own right, but the snazzier model 16V ones with the seat extenders etc are a much nicer place to be.

It's all very well buying quality* ancient Mercedes, but it's probs time @wuvvum really showed us what he made of, by simply* buying this Volvo

It gets minus points for not having those 1970's 'Dymo' printer type labels by every single switch, but redeems itself for having a name that reminds of this class act..

Watchlisted, although unfortunately it's still another 6 months before it'll be old enough to be legally driven on a car licence.  I do have provisional PSV entitlement, but then I'd have to buy L plates and employ a qualified bus driver to sit in the front row every time I went out in it, which could get expensive.

Looks cheap but burning oil isn't good on that engine, especially if there's not much history,ask me how I know!! 

Although, at that price point it could still provide a very decent mode of transport for someone. 

Motor is just the right size for the car.

This isn't going to be a popular opinion....

But for some reason I like that camo pattern Cavalier.

I don't think I'd buy it though, I can think of better ways to spend £750.
