I know that many on here, including me, often break cars. Yes theres a lot of money in it.
I, like most, break cars that are uneconomical to repair or have seen better days.
This on the other hand is tragic, from what i can see theres nothing wrong with the car - he has just decided it is worth more in parts than as a whole car.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that if the numbers on the odometer were jumbled like this one, it was a sign that the clock had been tampered with?
-
this is a 2000W MV6, and i dont see a sispicious mileometer personally, maybe just the camera angle a bit low, how much should it be selling for, being as there's nothing wrong with it?
he's mentioned work done but not mentioned actual service history..
-
Nahh no way, there has to be something dodgy about that, its on 80k miles and W reg MV6 - that would fetch more than he thinks, he says you can get 'ex official cars cheaper' but does he realise that ex plod etc dont have the regular MV6 trim and gadgets that the joe public had?
The fact that he's stressing that he wants to break a perfectly good low milage car makes me think it could possibly be stolen or some other sinister background...... what do you lot think?
-
Why would someone buy a car, drive it for a year and then just break it if it was perfectly good?
Something very odd about that... Either he's nuts or the car's nicked.

I must agree there must be something dodgy going on here the car is still in good condition, i think he obviously thinks he can earn more by stripping it, although i personally don`t believe he could :-?

I've never seen a pre facelift either on a W Reg 2000 model
-
Good point cav9_4 - also the interior looks more like an Elite to me rather than MV6, although im no expert on trims so someone else will probably comment?

that is possible - i have a very late v plate (17 days before w prefix) 2000 pre facelift...

Hummmmm

MV6 prefacelift was made up to 2000 W, seen a few about up here, only seem to be MV6 though
Anyone messaged him about it? or anyone in berkshire close enough to go have a look at it?
-
I think ill go over and buy the seats tonight or tomorrow seeif he will drop the price a tad
Are Leather MV6 seat worth 250 or are they over priced ?
-
If im correct, and there is a good possibility im wrong, but 2 MV6's ive seen with leather had 'recaro' stitched into the back rest of the seat...... if you go over there with cash, make sure you take someone with you, he seems to be making sure he's untracable with no paypal and 'cash only pickup' Personally I wouldnt touch anything on it with a barge pole, tho it could just be an honest 'too good to be true'?

no recaro on mv6 leather
the leather in that car is mv6 though rather than elite.
I wouldnt touch anything to do with this guy - seriously avoid.

just friendly advice :) at the end of the day its your call ;)

Just watch out for the typical 'pick up only' scam with nicked goods - they will want to meet you in a carpark or somewhere away from an address, get the reg of the motor he arrives in etc, but remember, if it turns out to be stolen goods, you will lose your seats and money if the fuzz catch you. I know we are all going for negatives with this subject, but safety is the first priority, plus the seller seems to be weather intentionally or not making himself look suspitious by ripping apart a perfectly good car and not offering the usual ebay system (paypal and delivery). Lets face it, postage wont cost him owt as he would charge the buyer before hand.
Grill him and use your own instinct..... he could be perfectly innocent at the end of the day :)

And he replied
Hi there as there is a lot of intereat in the car in genral I will not be removing any items from the car until the auction ends that will also allow others to view the car complete hope you under stand Phill
Looks Like he is on the mark and not iffy after all
I have ask to have first offer on the seats if he splits the car
