yep i ahev been ranting about this for a while - ebay is an auction site so classifieds really dont make any sense ( but they do make ebay copious amounts of money - seeing as they are struggling financially  >:( )

I do a simple search of ebay on price range and distance from my house and it normally returns 450 - 500 cars...now its returning over 1600 and the excess and a good few more are classifieds!

Well keep your eyes peeled as im going to Ebay my 3.0 Elite tomorrow....maybe not a project as such as it just needs a weekends TLC from someone handy with the spanners and it will be a lovely car.

Now ive the estate its taking up much need space.

But yes i do agree that the classified ads are a complete joke,i thought the whole idae of Ebay was an auction site  :(

Yeah saw that one...

How gutted would the owner be, if you paid £100 for it. Jacked it up, replaced the crank sensor and then drove off!!  ;D ;D ;D

I agree......should read disfunctional crank sensor and technical problem with the cambelt leading  to knackered and shagged valves  ;D
