This car clearly states LPG in the title, and the AD states "LPG CONVERSION PART FUNDED FROM YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL"
Read on.... what's wrong?
-
Had a look at that, in the pics the car is on a drive (looks like chopsdad drive), then it looks like in a breakers yard, and whats plastic welding :-/, also states that it runs, but then it has to be recovered, did'nt know you could get a government grant either for LPG conversions ;D......all sounds very odd ::)

You can get governement help with an LPG conversion, but not on a car that's 8 years old!!!

the bloke sounds a bit confused doesn't he!!
-
There a lot about :( The bloke I bought the MV6 off told me the car had done 110,000 miles and he has the receipt for a recent cambelt change. When the car was delivered it has 143,000 miles and he has lost the receipt. The problem with Ebay is they dont want to know, I have just left negative feedback after going through Ebays procedures which he didnt respond to but im expecting negative back >:(
-
The title clearly states LPG, I think I'm going to have this listing removed....
-
have you noticed what power he reckons it is ;D
-
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I've only bought on eBay a couple of times and that was with buy-it-now. The bidding stuff is too much of a PITA I'm afraid. I treat it like a bargain Amazon.
-
I agree this bloke has only stated LPG to get more people to look, a con man, who hasīnt even done his homework >:( >:(
-
.....and i'm pretty sure that was never a Government car, at least not with that registration plate.
-
its a poor show sometimes from the admin. i have a feedback of over 1200 with 4 negs.
1 said GOOD which i could not get removed, 1 said i was impatient over a dodgy cd i received in asking for my money back-could not get it removed, 1 said the buyer had had a heart attack and was in hopsital so heres your neg in return! (he was dealing the whole time- result admin did not want to know and the other was a simle neg no comment-obviously an error- same result. total pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they soon are after my fees though !!
so no wonder the fraudsters like it all, ive seen traders down to 48% feedback with no recourse!
-
Thats the thing with ebay,you need to read all the listing
in his defence he has put in big red letters that it isn't LPG
It is no different to selling a PS3 and putting Wii in the title(keyword spamming)
He does need to do his homework better though
(220 ;D)

Just had negative feedback. What really poxes me off is I open a dispute through Ebay and the seller doesnt reply which he has over two weeks to do, so why do Ebay let him leave feedback. Its wrong >:(

It might well have been in use as a Government car, DVLA would then issue it with a new registration plate of the year of Manufacture, when the car comes to it's end of Government life. Anyway why do poeple list Catalytic Converters in the "Exterior Options: Alloy Wheels, Catalytic Converter, Rear Spoiler" I though that they was standard fitment since 1994 ;D ;D ;D When did anybody walk in to a dealership to buy a new car and say to the saleperson "I want that car without the Cat/s" yer right, when will these people wake up and smell the TYRE RUBBER ;D ;D :y
-
It looks OK'ish, a cheap motor. OK the bloke selling doesn't really appear to have his head screwed on properly just using buzz words to attract attention. I'm surprised it need a VIC (class C right-off) to get road legal again, I mean if you fixed the headlight, and pulled the bonnet out a bit it looks as if it would pass an MOT no probs. I think the reference to "plastic welding" just means the headlamp surround is broken and needs gluing or "melting" back together. Spot the towbar impact marks !.

I does look like its had quite a bang at the front ;D

I think it has hit a tow bar, that has pushed back the bumper, which caught the bonnet grill and headlamp. Doesn't need to have been that fast. It just shows how soon they write cars off these days. A new bumper, new bonnet, headlamp mount maybe, surround and a bit of spraying, and they dump a Ģ2700 car. I am still surprised at it being Cat C.

That looks repairable for 2700, surely? New bonnet is 900 quid as an insurance job (don't ask me how I know!) add a bumper to that (didn't ask how much mine cost ::)).
That and the cat C makes me wonder if he's being entirely honest about the extent of the damage :-/

I think I agree, poss something else wrong, I wouldn't like to buy any car without first going and seeing it. I did once, my wife's corsa, from a fleabay auction. The car was fine, at first, but they had dogs, and you know what some dogs have, that hibernate, and come out when warm. Oh yes, it took several doses of anti flee powder to get rid !. Having said that, its the best time of year to buy a car, people are spending money on Xmas, not damaged cars, so it could be a bargain. We need professional advice, where's RMcB when you need him !.
