I agree . what do people expect for less than a grand
an 18 year old car by nature has been outside and used and has aged
the fact you did the cam belt kit ,zorst and moted it is a massive plus to a buyer
vauxhall cars over fuel on start up and need a good drive to get water out the zorst
(i note the last astra G estate back box i purchase had a tiny machined hole in the bottom, with a label saying it was to allow
water to drain )
the dull wing may have seen fresh paint, or simply had some polish or chemical disagreement in the past
had the seller t cut it and polish it ,it would probably not be noticeable, or buy a wing ,cheap enough,bolt on.
maybe he'll buy a brand new car and be happy
BIG problem now is that ebay don't allow you to pass on contact info until after an item is sold
who in their right mind is going to buy a car sight unseen without hearing the engine,test drive etc
ebay have made this rule because many where selling outside of ebay and they where not getting their big fat selling fee
