@Supernaut sent me a link to this yesterday, it seem's a barge pole job to me...

It's been street parked in the industrial estate I work in, for over a week now (In Dyce, not Westhill), photo I took last night at around 11:30PM when heading back from a part collection for work.

The Gumtree photos are even taken from the same street i's parked in. Down from it is a pair of shonky MX5's in true 'Drift Yo Stance' spec, also street parked. 

It also failed it's last MOT initially on rust on the rear as well...

Granted, it was 9 days and 50 miles later it passed, but still an advisory on rear subframe being corroded, but doesn't fill me with confidence.

That is a fantastic car. I believe they were built to a much higher standard than most detroit products. How much cooler than yet another mustang?

WHS. Price seems very reasonable too for what you're getting, I hope it ends up in sympathetic hands.

£1800 for a borked Powershit!? Needs to go in the bargains or just bloody scrap it thread 😅 Nice illusion the seller is living there!

Ex-BeEP Clio now up on FB Marketplace for double the price, with no mention of the issues - maybe they've been fixed already... 🤔

Typical fake/dummy FB profile too! Always a tell-tale of a private trader. At least a "warranty" is being offered!

Tempting but the broken one I bought was £1500 and half the mileage. If it was £800 I might have had a go; there are some* faults that are gearbag out/replacement needed. 

Thanks for thinking of me! I did wonder if there was a living to be made out of fixing them....

"Immaculate" - definitely very much not.  Bumper corners don't fit properly and he's carefully avoided showing the worst of the mismatched paint - but I can see it's still there.

"No issues at all" - except the scrubbed tyres, non-functional heater blower, driver's door dropping slightly when opened, floppy key blade etc...

"£30 tax" - nope, it's £165.

"Warranty" - really!?

On the plus side he turned up when he said he would, paid the agreed amount and disappeared without fuss.  It's the worst car I've had for a while and I lost £20 on it, so I'm not complaining too much.

Grim looking HC Viva, £795 in Essex

"Sadly Selling my 1974 vauxhall viva estate 1256 as I have realised it's to much work for me at the moment so I'd rather move it on than let it sit any longer,it's a 1974 hc vauxhall viva estate registered on the first of October 1974,being a estate it is extremely rare now and sought after. Comes with old tax disks from 97/98 when it was last on the road,also has some period stickers on the back and some nice patina👍has keys and v5

The floor is largely rust free apart from a minor hole in the corner of the passengers footwell,but the sills boot corners and arches need work on both sides. Also the a piller and the roof have minor rust holes.engine seems seized but is a quite common engine to find as was used in chevettes 

I would love to see it go to someone to restore it and bring it back to its former glory. but I'd be happy if it's parts go on to save
 another."

I dunno, I had the closely related Kia Magentis V6 of similar vintage and that was a surprisingly entertaining thing to drive once you'd got over the complete lack of steering feel.

The V6 is definitely the better engine as the 4 pot I had (technically still have) was dismally grim to drive. A perfectly adequate engine for the smaller Hyundai models, but simply not enough oomph for the larger Sonata.
