Good evening, If any member is in the essex area could I have a huge favour... would anyone like to go and view a car I have a keen interest in?
its on ebay at the moment, this is the link.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260167899402&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT&ih=016
so if anyone knows where it is, or can find out its exact location and give an opinion on what it should be worth, would be highly appreciated, if its the right car for me i'd be willing to travel the distance to get it
-
No probs, happy to take a wee run to view....
Cover the return fuel costs or a train ticket?
500 miles each way for me, who is closer??...... ;)
-
Looks like a nice car good luck, and keep us Imformed :y
-
:)Looks nice. Maybe you could negotiate a discount if you show him how to use his spellchecker?!!
-
I suspect he's foreign, maybe originally from liverpool ;D
i'm waiting on some answers from the seller regarding service history
it was previously listed and reached £2250 but i hadnt bid on it, the seller didnt release the car because the buyer attempted to pay half cash half cheque and take the car there and then!
-
It looks nice that. In my opinion yes it looks sweet. If the shit hits the fan and you can't get anyone to go, when you turn up make sure it's exactly as described - if it isn't you get to walk away (or drive lol) with your cash. :y
TBH mate, I doubt many will just incase they get it wrong (if you know what I mean?).
-
yeah i'm well prepared, it's my very minimal knowledge of cars that makes me a tad apprehensive of travelling so far for any car, let alone this one
Ideally I wanted black, but the grey is nice and is the next best thing, and everything else is exactly as I want it, I've asked the seller for some more pics as well and also MOT history
i'm quite confident I'll be well outbid but a second chance offer might get me lucky, and if it does, i'll have money left over to put anything right
I've set aside some cash to put my own car right too, but I need to have this sorted before i attempt to drive such a distance, and when i do, i'll be devastated to see mine go, cos for a 2.0 GLS its a nice tidy car with relatively low mileage, a sound engine, and nothing at all major wrong!
-
It certainly looks a nice motor, but with 11 bids & a few days to go the price is gonna go skywards, anyway your car looks nice too, you know what they say.The grass always seems greener on the other side ;)
-
i know but if i'm lucky enough to get a second chance, having showed a genuine interest (more chance of finding rocking horse poo but ya never know) then i still have a lot of cash left over to make it a worth while buy......
unless its a cut-n-shut!!
-
Anyway you don't want to go to Essex, it's full of bleached blondes wearing white stilletoes & the women are just as bad
-
aaah you're not too far, you mind going looking for me? ;D
-
Doh me and my big mouth, I'm right on the east coast of Kent so would be a bit of a trek, E bay cars are a bit of a gamble at the best of times ;)
-
worth a try :D
i know, my bid's not stupidly high, i actually think i'll be out bid but sometimes ya never know your luck!
-

I suggest you be very carefull what you say about Essex!!
Especially as you live on the wrong side of the Thames!! And before you start about the garden of England most peoples pets crap in the garden!

If you can find out where in Essex it is if its near me i could pop over, not exactly a car expert but sure i can tell if its a bucket of crud or not
-
thanks, see if you can pursuade a test drive too if ya can :D
asking for precise location now, but when i enquired about service history and MOTs i havent had a reply yet
-
Can have a look if you want, do you know where in blonde-land :y
-
still no reply, i've been outbid anyway now so it would all depend on second chance offer!
still, if you wanna sell a car, you reply to messages!!
-
Power 250. Thats a fair bit of BHP :o
-
and a bit of dishonesty?? :D
-
It's a misprint. It's 250 PHP (Pub Horse Power). ;D

okay the car is in Clacton-On-Sea, postcode CO16 8BB
no service history with it but if its been looked after up until this point then it doesnt matter as i'd plan on running it upto its death i think, and i've only bid £2k on it so its got plenty of potential to be put right within my budget.... :D

Only problem being if theres no service history, how do you know the milage is correct and its been looked after?
-
exactly, i've asked for MOTs which should hopefully give some bearing as to how much mileage is on, I'll HPI it tomorrow i think, and this is why i'd love someone to go check it over and give it a run, which is why i wont bid more than £2k

Sorry but Clacton is about as far in Essex from me as it gets, and i can't get get there untill earliest tonight, which will be after the auction ends, BUT if you get a 2nd chance i could possibly get up there and have a look for you before you agree to buy :y
