went and bought this for my dad (with his money) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4567469882
when i first see it i asked what would he take cash, he say 4k, i no buy, yesterday i see hes put will sell now for £3900, so i email him my phone number an offer him £3800, he phoned and said ok if i get there before 4pm, i went it need 2 new tyres ( i have some in garden) service book only got a stamp for 1200 miles, i can get a bd service stamp, i gave him £3580 i the end, good or bad or about right?

how can it be last november that he bought it, as its on a 53 plate, which means its pre march 2004?

EDIT - the advert says its got 8 months warranty left, but as these cars came with a three year warranty, that means the car should be on a 03 reg(going by the warranty dates, the car is from april 2003). the only way the car could have 8 months warranty, and be bought in 2004, is if it had a one year warranty, which only comes with an import. but that still doesnt explain why its on a 53 plate.

Sounds like a bargain to me. I didn't realise that they were that cheap second hand.

but that same auction often get bids a lot higher than ebay prices for puntos, an 02 minging sporting repossesed, neglected, went for 3775 with the imdemnity that would be 4k, from what i could see it needed new pads n disks,

The moral of the story? Buy new seis, not Puntos! :p
 
It's ebay, it's never going to effectively show the market.

Dave, I am worried, you worrying you're getting ripped off? Were you drinking? ;)
 
Main thing is, is your dad happy with it? Seems like a good deal though, as previsouly stated it is only a year and a bit old. Don't understand the MOT thing though surely three years from 2004 is 2007? :confused:
