As you may know, I travel fairly long distances to work, and my mig is beginning to show her age.
Sooooo...... a weekend search on 'that auction site', revealed a nice 03 CDX V6 2.6, with 80K miles at a fairly low price. I watched it go higher, surprising the number of folk with 0 or very low feedback pushing it up, but I got it for a fairly reasonable fee. The seller said it was a trade in, and he had driven 120miles with no problems.
I picked her up today. I had arranged a time, but he was several minutes late in arriving. A quick check, all fluids were OK, oil black but filled up past the full mark, so OK. Drive home was fine, car OK, a few niggles but nothing serious. So another fine Ebay sale, totally honest car seller etc.
