As you may know, I travel fairly long distances to work, and my mig is beginning to show her age.
Sooooo...... a weekend search on 'that auction site', revealed a nice 03 CDX V6 2.6, with 80K miles at a fairly low price. I watched it go higher, surprising the number of folk with 0 or very low feedback pushing it up, but I got it for a fairly reasonable fee. The seller said it was a trade in, and he had driven 120miles with no problems.

I picked her up today. I had arranged a time, but he was several minutes late in arriving. A quick check, all fluids were OK, oil black but filled up past the full mark, so OK. Drive home was fine, car OK, a few niggles but nothing serious. So another fine Ebay sale, totally honest car seller etc.
Wake up Ken, smell the coffee :o :o :o
My wife came out to inspect the purchase and remarked on the smell of hot oil. Looking a bit closer revealed (http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t155/lapbits/PICT4472.jpg) and (http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t155/lapbits/PICT4473.jpg) Plus a warning about Low Beam FL/Vision ?.
However she does go well, and has a recent MOT, even with
