I bet it needs a cambelt change so budget for that

No MOT so how will you collect it?

Worth a look and offer £200!

Need to ask the question why a Dealer who's in Business to make money though selling Cars is selling a Car with no MOT?, some things not right to me.

Wouldn't count on the RAC not checking the Cambelt, one bolt off, pull cover back, look at Cambelt.

£250? Thats scrapyard money. MOT failure. Probably something expensive, wheel bearings, bushes, of course the obligatory brake pipes etc. It'll need a cambelt and service, probably tyres too.   I would consider it for parts but you need to look it over first.  :-\

Im sure they do a 3 day policy where they insure you , so maybe if it was booked in for an mot when picked up it would be ok to drive .. not far from me and sure ive seen the ad before  :-\ recon a few hundred to get it back into shape  :-\

I just paid 350 for a 53 plate 2.6 CDX with tax and test, knowing it needed a few bits like camcover gaskets n coil pack so it's not really too cheap as it will need some cash spending as mine did

Look at the rest of his stock all budget cars, I am not sure why they wouldn't just run it through an MOT and stick it up at 5-600 ?

Unless there is a mountain of work to do to get it through not mentioned in the ad  ???
