Title: Omega with 12 months MOT sold for £82
Post by: terry paget on 23 June 2016, 16:14:50: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-0-cd-Vauxhall-omega-/322153714619?hash=item4b01db93bb:g:Z8YAAOSwmtJXYqBd
Makes a man wary of paying £200 to straighten back end of KR02, not to mention other costs, doesn't it? Buying a used car brings with it costs of collection and sorting, but still . . .

Interesting. So he has set a reserve after the auction. I expect the buyer is miffed.

There was a case upheld in Germany a few years ago involving a rather nice yacht worth about €35,000 ... seller had neglected to place a reserve and buyer won said yacht for a pittance. Courts upheld in favour of the buyer.
