eBay tat volume 3.

C4 Corvettes are criminally under rated in my opinion. People think they are typical roly poly barges but they are pretty good cars by any standard.

Image might be an acquired taste admittedly.

I actually like these apart from them shit wheels.

Just not sure I wanna take up line dancing just yet, wear a cowboy hat and said howdy all the time.

I’ve often thought one of these would be a sensible alternative to a money pit 911. Not sure the Mrs will agree and she’s the only one that has to authorise our major expenditure - I have a £2000 limit on unapproved car purchases, I need to find  a properly cheap ‘Vette.

That could be a scene from the opening credits to some sort of spectacularly bleak BBC drama series set in the 70s.

"Now then Frank, will I see you int' club while 9?"

"Aye, 'appen you might Ned. Us'll be drinking t' memory o' Dave Bartington; t' pit fell on 'im."

"T'pit falls on us all int' end."

"Aye, it does."

"Aye."

Buy the car in four 2k transactions that happen to be on the same day?

v6 Avantime. Good colour, recent timing belt but you think they would have wiped that big bird shite off the bonnet before taking the pictures.

Does anyone else think its weird that they drove it 35 miles but never tried the stereo? Same with the sat nav, first thing I'd do when I got it home is fiddle with things like that

This is very appealing. And very local. Oh dear. I do like '80s fibreglass however.  But there is also that Corvette to consider.   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Chevrolet-Corvette-C4-V8-MANUAL-RARE-MODEL-CLASSIC-AMERCIAN-CAR-DRIFT-SWAP-PX/224191617032?hash=item3432dc9808:g:8fQAAOSwnB1fbKYo"

Hmmm. Broken headlight, aux. belt missing, flat battery / new battery (which - both are claimed), New (old) alternator, hacked-through bracket by the PAS reservoir, Aldi thermoswitch thing-(for a fan?) And those awful wheeelzz.

I could cope with the interior however.

Sure, it is shite, but it is shite in an "I don't care about car interiors" kind of way rather than shit in a "leather-lined, monochrome alcantara, WiFi enabled ergonomic  cock-rest" kind of way like a contemporary prestige PCP-mobile.

No. I never tried the sATnAV in my Avantime either and once the radio had been tuned to BBC radio3 I didn't touch it again either. To be fair, for the first 35 miles in an 18 year old and complicated Renault, you need to be concentrating on the important things such as warning lights, weird noises and smells.
