Well I that you folks for the imput but, I will not be buying the car. I had a message off the Seller today:
"Shaun, you havent sent your deposit as you said you would, we have the other chap travelling up for the car on Saturday morning. With regard to any cam belt change and road tax these are issues for the buyer, not the seller and we wont reduce the asking price of the vehicle on these points.
- cars-well"
First off, I had said nothing about a deposit, the last message I sent them was:
"Dear cars-well,
Hi
Is there any chance you can provide my an outside e-mail addy?
The reason I ask is, is have proof the Cambelt change is 40k not 70k.
This can be seen below, if Ebay allows the link:

Shaun."
There is also one which I sent them but, didn't save stated:
"white one is back in play, if the cambelt issue could be sorted or we could come to some agreement on price"
My question is, am I being too agressive on the value, given it needing an MOT/Belt change?
I need to know this as I'm after a 3.0/3.2ltr top end Estate (must be auto) and I have seen many with history but, long belt change intervals. I'm on Benefits as, I cannot work, due to my Disability so, only have a limited budget. For the right car, FSH including a recent full belt change and good MOT, I can go to 2k but, everything has to be right as, I have to pay £600 for the Hand Controls I need to drive it.
Given what I have stated above, am I expecting too much (I'm not worried if it's a 2000 or 2003)?
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Shaun.
