Right, just been for a look. I did not realise it was the same car, as the post was locked, did he sell it? or is this still X30XE's car?

Typical though the timing, financially is not right, give it another couple of months, would have been OK.......... :( :(

Blimey Vamps, we've had ALLLLLL SORTS of "agro" over that advert. We've had people complaining and deriding its too expensive, we've had people complaining about people complaining about it being too expensive, we've had threads in gen chat (mine) about why people moan about the advertised price on someone else's car. We've had admin comments on why people moan about people moaning about the price, we've had deleted posts and locked threads and Christ knows what else...

....all about this one car. Yes it's strong money, but so what. Buy it or don't buy it. Etc etc.

So yes, wake up at the back ;D

Not yet, but in my previous experience, until it gets under 14days left on Ebay things never sell.  ???

It really isn't dear at all when considering what has sold in the last year for over £1.8k (with none of the usual suspects replaced). 

People, myself included, view prospective cars with the delusion that "yes but the one I buy won't need all that doing to it"....   Yes it will, and it will cost the same in the long run.  Difference is, do you want the hassle of to-ing and fro-ing from your local garage or would you rather it was already done?  :-\

Ya never know, I might still have it in a couple of months  :)

Yes so did the owner of who's experience speak. Loved it. But he did have agro. As I recall most Japanese parts are fairly steap. Fair to say? Mazda maf £320 sort of steap...?

As we did, was mine first and then went to swmbo, the engine never missed a beat in 133k miles, an ABS fault caused it's downfall, in hindsight it may have been better to repair rather than sell it..................... ::) ::)

Sent a few questions to the owner of the Oyster 3.2 saloon today only to find out that it also needs a cam belt plus a few other things on it. I check tonight to find he has ended the auction less than a day in, think I may of upset him. Sorry mate. But why put things in the add when they pure bullsh#t

I wish, my 2.6 averages 9 oil changes a year (every 4K covering 40K a year), then again the 3.2 gets one as it does about 3 - 4K a year!

3.2 has not had an oil change in almost a year, but again it only does same as above, about 4k a year. Apart from aircon gas, its bad no work done.

2.2 gone it's longest in years since a oil change, almost 5k. But still super clean.

Done sod all to both of them for almost a year, actually that's a lie. 2.2 got plugs, filter and breather clean.

Both need some TLC this summer though
