EML on, slightly lumpy gear change but mot'd July 2022! Luckily for me my ebay account is suspended as it says I haven't paid my fees (even though my balance is £0) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265274976975 I think I will bid on this.

It went within 3 minutes of putting it on Gumtree for £500 with a lot of the 20 or so callers before I pulled the ad. Offering to pay over the asking price by transfer if I kept it for them. Has no-one here tried to buy it? That looks like a great motor for the wonga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as long as you got the reg off it, it was a good deal. The ABS was not a huge issue but the rot creeping up at the back would be the next issue.

Yes and I've no idea what a sane amount to bid on a slightly wonky Citroen C6 is.! If I had the money I'd buy it and park it in my lockup for ever just so when I die and they open it up it makes me look more interesting than I am.

Schaefft Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Didnt bid in the end, would have been over 1400 which probably would have still been a good price but not the ultimate bargain. Another time! cort16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schaefft Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Yeah, not sure what the winning bidder's maximum bid was but it would have been over 1400 considering he was keen getting it. I'll never understand people starting to bid high amounts half an hour before the auction ends, you are literally bidding against yourself...

When I got it off you , I tentatively put the number into a reg. companies valuation thing online and since then it’s advertised at £2000!!, Or was, just put the number into Google and it comes up, so I’m eagerly awaiting their call when it sells .
