Seen this on Ebay twice in the past, seems ok from the pics but you can't go by them for sure.

Headgasket, clutch cables and sensor faults are some of the most common as is the handbrakes. You could check the bills for evidence of these being repaired.

Price seems ok to me but I'd still try and barter him down some more.

Flutter your eye lashes woman!!

liam... I get shot down in flames when ever I suggest a girl uses their ahem.. "female intuition" to barter with somebody.

knock the price down if they drilled holes to put that minging spoiler on, because that will take some money to fix.

btw welcome to the forum, everybodys mad here except me :)

And he's certified insane.....

Welcome :)
 
is it on a private plate

it first registered in 2002 , but a V reg which is 1999

how does that work, am i missing something

for the amount of stuff its got on, its pretty cheap for 2002 car, but average price for 1999 car

EDIT - oops my bad, there is a seller question on the page asking about this :eek:

I think it was built in 1999 but not registered until 2002.

i was thinking that too :D

but it a long time to have a car un-registered, most garages would pre register it and flog

but if v5 is with the car, can be checked, or try one of them rac things

just confusing that they never mentioned it in the actual ebay advert

its a high milage car for 3 years old though :eek:
 
It is a very common arrangement to happen. Having worked for bus companies, this happens a lot to make fleets appear newer than they are.
Both Arriva nd FIrst have their vehicles delivered by road, often from N.I on trade plates and they are left in the depots til the first of March or September so they can whack a brand new plate on even though they have already covered a decent amount of milage, and some already been in RTA's or breakdowns which is sometimes the case.
 
There are a lot of SPI seis on number plates on which MPI seis would be based!

It is a genuine thing that happens and it is legit!!

HPI'ed the vehicle by the way it is correct!
 
Looks nice!! But that is only half the problem. Take a friend or someone who knows a bit about cars with you, check out for rust spots, espeacilly under the wings, around the sunroof.

With that spoiler, check the roof for rust and doggy paint coverage. I got the same spolier, which I think is great, but I know it was fitted propperty.

Using your eyeslashes is a must, but do remember that you will be parting with a money, so try and control your heart.

Culch cable will go at some point, plus check that the timming belt has been changed, they need to be done every 40,000.

With Keyless opening, ask what would happens if the battery is dead?

Good luck with your purchase!!!

She looks a real beauty!!
