A lot of negative feedback seems to be left by people being too quick to throw their toys out of the pram before they have given the seller a chance to resolve any issues!!

 

It happens to buyers too.

 

I remember in the [better] old days when buyers could be negged. I bought a tape deck on eBay before moving house in Lancaster and told the seller in no uncertain terms before I bid that I didn't get paid for a week and that I was moving house and so wouldn't have Internet access for however long it took to sort everything out. He agreed to this and wished me well with the house move.

 

Three days later amid a pile of boxes I managed to get online with my housemate's computer and saw that he'd negged me to fuck because I 'hadn't paid' and he'd apparently had 'no communication' with me 'at all'. Several shitty e mails to eBay customer services with copies of the mails I'd sent him, and a couple of nasty ones back his way, and suddenly he backpedalled like a bastard and withdrew his negative rating! Needless to say I eventually got the tape deck (a pretty low end Yamaha KXW 321) and have been very happy with it ever since. His description was spot on and he delivered it quickly - he must have been having a crap day.

That Astra (which looks like it's worth £500 tops) is being sold by someone from Canvey Island. Says it all, really :roll:

 

As for the spoiler on that Sierra, I've only ever seen a picture of one in a Ford Accessories brochure, circa 1988 :)

I was watching that as well! Sold for £777.11 on my feed though? Only two things stopped me bidding. Abject skintness and memories of just how shit the heater blower is on the CX. You'd be better off strapping your cat to the dashboard and feeding it baked beans.

That Sierra is ace, much wantage for that here, unfortunately no money or space though.

I suspect the incredibly dim Astra seller meant to type 'Retro' not 'Retco' but if he's never seen on on eBay/elsewhere for sale then he obviously hasn't looked too hard. Eighteen hundred sovs would score you a decent/useable Mk1 GTE I reckon which is about six hundred and seventy two cajillion times more fun to drive than fucking 1.3 (or whatever) estate.

Is Canvey Island anything like Hayling Island in terms of retardation? The only reason I ask is because some mong from the latter keeps writing in to Ret[c]o Cars to complain that the magazine's shit and wasting his time because he's never heard of Gilbern. He's a fucking fruit loop, that kid. Anything to get them away from printing OMG SLAMMED YO VWs is fine by me.

Canvey Island is a byword for retardation in south Essex. People who don't live or work there tend to keep well away from the place, as many (but not all) of the natives are decidedly 'speshul' ;)

I really like those ZXs, either in hatch or coupe form.

 

Just love that 80s/90s Jap hot-hatch dash too.
