eBay tat volume 3.

What does £2,300+ (reserve not met) buy you these days? A shit, rusty old nail with some 1970's Wormwood Scrubs mattresses, an attempt at joinery so abysmal it'd make Frank Spencer cry and some dog pissed stain flooring that looks like it held the world tap dancing championship on it for 17 years in a row.

There's a helpful list of things that he had to replace, but he's 'never had any running problems'

 

Fucking hell. The price of anything remotely VW related and van-shaped is getting completely ridiculous.

I'd love to see how ownership of that Chinese Matiz pans out after even the lightest of impacts

Modified for truths:

 

"Though the Chery QQ and the Daewoo Matiz are superficially similar cars, their safety ratings differ dramatically. A Euro NCAP front offset crash test showed that the driver's injuries in the QQ are worse than those sustained in the Matiz. Upon impact, the QQ driver will most likely suffer severe (possibly fatal) head trauma, and trauma to the neck and chest areas. The first generation Daewoo Matiz achieved a three/two star driver/passenger EuroNCAP rating"

 

Worse than a Matiz! Driving one of those must be like keeping your toaster on the edge of the bath and accessing your loft-hatch standing on a kitchen stool balanced on a bowling ball.

Remember the gifted person who used an image of a Mk5 Fiesta buried in the the front of a branch of Specsavers, accompanied by zero correct details for the 1992 Fiesta Automatic they're attempting to sell?

 

They also have this little beauty available.

A truly stellar write-up for this one:

 

"I've put in estimates for some things because it's dark now and I don't want to go outside and look. Also, the person who knows where the documents are is in the shower and I just want to put this up on here asap."

 

Interested parties can drive it away though, right?

 

"...The car was a really good runner until a few months ago when it was parked on our driveway. It should start if there is a charged-up battery in it, but this seems to be beyond us to organise...."

 

Verdict: Struggles with life.

I thought the mk3 escort was spared from having a diesel engine. It seems I was wrong. The 16,000 miles it's done is probably all they could tolerate

118 188, how may I help?

 

Hi, my boyfriend said I need to trim my Beetle bonnet bush, can you help?

 

Putting you through to the Car Catapult Company, all calls terminate in Dumfries and cost 99p per second...
