georgeinabz Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 A mere four day raid. Kind of highlights the benefits of a UK - Norway ferry crossing.I feel your pain , we had planned for my pals 50th in 2009 to go to the artic circle on the bikes, however ferry stopped from Newcastle in 2008.It was getting ridiculous looking at other options as would spend half our holiday just getting to and from Norway.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been up for half a year now and I reckon it might be worth taking a punt. Trouble is, I reckon it's a sub 5k car until I see the history and wondering if it is too big of an ask. They are a dealer and probably bored with it sitting around, so might dare with a low ball. If of course it isn't a total nightmare Any opinions on these cars?

I had a fairly good go at trying to buy a beige 1.3 from Der Nederlands a few years ago - but couldn’t get the seller to take me seriously. I do struggle with the 3dr looks in low spec flavour; it looks out of proportion. There’s absolutely no doubt that this will get pimped, the eventual sale price will necessitate improvement to get an RoI which is what all the Ford Scene is about.

Crackers Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 This is saying a lot to me.

It's probably not a bad deal, but honestly, how many people actively and specifically want a CF? I can think of one. And that bloke has neither money nor facilities.

'Tis the way Farcebook Marketplace works* - the algorithms and coding are truly shite. It can't cope with mileage, for example, so renders it as kilometres. Not even possible to put up a "wanted" advert properly, as their coding demands you put a fixed price even on that. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
