DoctorRetro Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 It's a family business apparently, they auction off all their trade ins, especially this sort of thing. I don't really have the 600 to pull out to save it currently, so I'm oot. Anyone else is welcome to try, let me know if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 I know, I know. I just can't a) raise 600 or b) risk 600 even if I could. Mind you, when I went to see it the battery was flat and the bonnet cable handle came off! I'll take that as a sign. 😂 The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buyers premium for a public customer would be another £100 on what it sells for. They’d get £200 ringing the breakers to come and fetch it. 🤣 What a carry on! The banger racers will turn up with some actual cash and buy it to race. Ideal for that being the 1.6. richykitchy and DoctorRetro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
