"Car is completely original."

🤦‍♂️

There's no way the front wings are original.

@warren t claim/ @chancer

if you dont mind me asking whats your thoughts on this?

to me its got the feeling of too good to be true, especially with the low milage 

but if you think it might be genuine, I might call up that insurance company that I was able to get a quote from a couple months back, and take things from there

It may have been clocked every year for tax reasons.

Buy on condition, not mileage.

Mine is showing 289k, service history puts it around 450k. Feels and drives like the one i had around 2010 that had a genuine 90k on it. Agree with @warren t claim  buy on condition. If it has decent test and is not riddled with rot then its a safe bet. How will you get around the ULEZ? Thats the reason these things are getting as cheap. They are no good in your neck of the woods now

yeah I did wonder such, especially if you look at the wear on the interior/drivers cabin (zip tied on foot pedal rubbers etc) that gives me high milage feels

 

a bit frustratingly although its only a few miles away from me, because London thats actually about an hour away still, so its still a fair old jaunt for me to go have a look at it, but my brother is still game to come look with me

yeah the 8 months of MOT and its cheap price is whats most appealing 

(ULEZ is not applicable to me until the 24th of October 2027, because of the Disabled taxation class exemption)

I appreciate the inputs from both  :) especially on the buy on condition rather then milage, Im just a bit worried if its had a hair cut every MOT, what else might be dodgy/bodged but I guess thats the Autoshite version of "how long is a piece of string" 

 

ill see about ringing up insurance tomorrow and see whats on offer, obviously no point bothering the seller given the high chance of it falling over at the first hurdle anyhow LOL

Eight months is long enough for a TX to deteriorate from solid to terminal.

If you get 8 months driving experience from it, then scrap it to get a bit back, then its worth the money. Less than 100 quid a month depreciation, if you look at it that way

It's not as if he'll be working it either.

London cabs had to be meticulously maintained. I agree haircuts would be for financial purposes, everything else would be kept to a high standard to keep it going through the tests

Fuck the mileage. It's the rust you need to look out for.

yeah thats kinda what im thinking with this particular one, even if it does run the MOT station's printer out of ink at its next test, ill have still had a decent amount of time with it, as you say experience gained, and a couple hundred quid or so can be made from cubing or such

 

the only spanner in the works of that train of thought is the cost of insurance

well the last quote was quite a lot of money for meat £2K. but as scary as that sounds, it honestly was not all that much more then what I got for other similar sized vehicles like the Red Volvo Estate that was for sale on here recently, (which was about £1.5K on compare the market) so I would not of been really any better off getting said volvo or other such large vehicle

most people where anticipating  i'd get quoted about £4K for a TX4!

big question is, can I still find someone to quote me, as that quote I did get was a limited time offer, and took *a lot* of ringing around to find

yeah and in that regard the MOT history at least, is pretty clean I think?

You need to remember that you, @chancer and myself live in areas with a competitive market for garages with the know how to bodge these heaps through one last MOT.

The fact they want money for that offends me.

Another Maestro - had this one yet?

Can't wait* for the repeated relistings until it eventually finds its correct £500 start price. 

"The car has been fully serviced by me with the inclusion of lucas oil stabiliser - for both engine and gearbox. (If you know classic cars, you'll know this stuff makes all the difference in the life of the engine  :) )" 

"Central locking for the boot was never included in the Maestro"
