Ebay Tat Volume 2 - Sadly deceased.

Recommended Posts

That Senator is so unbelievably full of win! Bloody lack of space...

 

One for the 'What Could Possibly Go Wrong?' files; V8 Audi, which looks like it needs a bit more fettling than is being admitted to in the ad.

 

It doesn't look too bad to me...probably need a few jobs doing (and a new set of tyres if the current ones are 9+ years old), but that's true of anything that goes for that sort of money. However, the lack of rear legroom (even if the front seats are in the rearmost position) is quite baffling considering the size of the car.

This needs driving across a rugby field whilst someone throws Fatty's butties out of the window....

I am ashamed to ask this much for what is a complete wreck. I traveled too far and paid far too much for this on ebay recently. #180744950191 but apparently other bidders thought it was worth it. I am now just trying to recoup my misguided bid, train fare and petrol home.

 

Reason(s) for refusal to issue Certificate

Fuel cap/sealing device does not fasten securely maintaining the sealing arrangement (7.2.2b)

Offside Rear Body has a sharp edge caused by corrosion (6.1.4)

Nearside Front Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion which adversely affects braking or steering (6.1.1)

Offside Front Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion which adversely affects braking or steering (6.1.1)

Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)

Rear both sides, inner sills Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.2)

Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.2)

Offside Rear Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion which adversely affects braking or steering (6.1.1)

Nearside Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.2.6)

Offside Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.2.6)

Parking brake efficiency below requirements (3.7.A.10)

Advisory Notice issued

Both sides Front wheel bearing has slight play (2.5.A.3c)

Steering system has slight free play detected at steering wheel (2.2.A.1b)

Both front inner arches corroded

Both rear inner arches corroded

Inner sills heavilly corroded

Floor pan heavilly corroded front to rear

O/s/r inner arch heavilly corroded

Floor and chassis heavilly corroded, filled with expanding foam and filler **DANGEROUS**

 

 

Engine is noisy- the end bearings are audible

Gearbox in first sounds like a train about to crash

The Gear selection is stiff and inaccurate

There is horrendous clutch judder and the rear end of the car feels like it wants to go somewhere else

Exhaust loud and leaks fumes into car

Petrol tank sender unit gasket leaking

Fuel gauge inaccurate /temperamental

 

I drove 200 miles home in it!

I'd advise NOT clicking on the wording to copy it as when I tried it did that 'finger pointy' type of thing which suggests it'll open a new link. Funny how he can't be contacted via eBay as it goes to his works e-mail address but he gives another e-mail address to contact him.

I shall be reporting this but I might just use 'ask seller a question' too as he's asked for people not to do that.

It's a Herald! I remember ours feeling like that, 33 years ago when it wore my red L at both ends. They were famous for it, you could buy a kit from SAH to tighten it all up, apparently it make a heck of a difference. I never got to find out, sadly...

I think the most obvious part of that Merc advert being a scam are the DVLA details.

The vehicle details for XMC 834A are:

Date of Liability 01 02 2007

Date of First Registration 05 01 1990

Year of Manufacture 1963

Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2300cc

CO2 Emissions Not Available

Fuel Type PETROL

Export Marker N

Vehicle Status Unlicensed

Vehicle Colour MAROON

Vehicle Type Approval Not Available

'Previous owner has lowered the car , but the way they have lowered is just cutting the coil over, it looks great but when u turn the steering it makes some clunky noise, I have raised the car from a jack and have checked if it’s any dangerous, it’s only touching on the top'
