Good news;

This car has two auto tint rear view mirrors and is the first estate to gain an electric rear sun blind despite not having the swicth fitted!

This bit made me smile:

This car drives beautifully but is in excellent condition

and

Remote headlight adjust
.....but its got HIDs?

Then look at the pics......the NCDC2013 doesn't fit properly, (which was not factory fit on a W reg), its got the wrong wheels for its age, wheres the load cover etc etc.

Not quite the perfect example its being sold as!

What he says above ^^^

Dont touch with a barge pole - i think they have also stooped to a new low - look at recent feedback  - two buyers leaving neg feedback as cars sold by them "have ownership issues"

Make of that what you can / want :-X

thats the same stereo headunit picture they've used in other adverts, they always claim its the actual pic for the actual car in the ad

and they also claim that the NCDC 2013 has inbuilt phone, and told me i was wrong when i said it didnt!!

I may be wrong but these guys " apairofpumpkins" used to trade under another name on e-bay, I think it was Sterling or Windsor cars or something like that. Their pictures are always taken in the same shrubbery area. As always buyer beware especially at any kind of auction and always make the trip to see before buying. It may be a genuine, great car but always use your head and not just your love of Omegas.

Would having two rear view mirrors not indicate that th boys in blue have had something to do with this car?

Is it worth buying to break? Or is the mismatch of parts going to mean problems with fitting to new cars?


 Also, this pic - http://i24.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/dc/09/791c_3.JPG - is it just the angle of the picture that makes the bottom half of the climate display obscured, or something more sinister? (I don't fancy doing yoga to fit in my car at that angle...)
