Title: Idiots......
Post by: martin42 on 04 April 2014, 16:21:16: Found an omega estate very local to me,had a look,and wow,what a state it is in,description says good body work,unless you want to play find a panel that hasnt got no deep scratches on it,and for the price well over priced,

2nd idiot,found a really nice mv6 in silver 53 plate 122k fsh,£995 car had a phone number,so wasnt sure who was selling it as was parked outside on the road in front of several garages,so popped inside and spoke to some1 about it,nothing to do with them,but the mechanic told me to avoid it,i asked why.response,cant get parts for it,cambelts snap and basically crap,i just looked at him and left.
