--rushes off to the internet to find out what a '62 Dodge Dart is supposed to look like. post-17481-0-77139000-1508582368_thumb.jpeg

 

I want the Dart and the Space Van Camper; I'd pull the Dart around behind the Camper on one of those A-frame things. Pulling the camper around behind the Dart might work better......

Quotes:

 

"Winning bidder will be responsible for the registration process but its child's play to do"

"No MoT but will pass easily" (but no failure certificate to back this up)

"Simple cheap fix"

 

If it's that cheap and simple then just bloody do it before you advertise it for sale.

Even if you put it in for an MoT and it fails you will probably get the £50 back because a prospective buyer will know what they are letting themselves in for.

If you are telling the truth any money you spend will be more than recouped when you sell it.

I would willingly pay £100 more for a UK-registered, Mot'd, repaired vehicle than a pile of indeterminate old tat which is probably a money pit.

If you haven't done it it's probably because it will cost more in either time or money than the car is worth.

My only conclusion is that all quotes similar to the above are at best misleading and at worst outright lies.

 

I have no problem with an honest seller who lists problems that are uneconomical to pay a garage to fix, on the basis that someone can repair it themselves more cheaply and get a bargain.

 

I am also staggered by the amount of careful owners who took the trouble to religiously keep all the paperwork history for a vehicle, then mysteriously "lose" it just before it is sold.

Do these sellers think we were all born yesterday?

Add a roll cage and get it up and running again = trackday weapon!

It's probably be ideal for one of those crappy z3 based Ferrari kit cars.
