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 ::)

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 >:(

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.

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

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
