I'm off to see the car in a few hours. It's 100 miles there, but theres another dealer a few miles away from that. Who has a white one, same year, but with 16,000 less miles for the same price.

Good luck. I viewed a few cars. One literally on my door step about 5 miles away (still for sale since December) and the car i eventually bought i went to see twice at 180 miles each way before i bought it :eek:

good luck. There are plenty of un cared for cars out there

Theres a grey one that parks in Kingswood shops occasionally. I work on Kingswood, so if I get one it'll be around the back. People will think they're common if parked together. (y) :p

I said to my sister, why don't you me and you go to the Trafford Center? Forgetting to mention the detour, to drive a Panda.

Is that the bit just past Cineworld etc? If so, that's about 5-10 mins away from my house (without wanting to state too specifically where I live on a public forum) :).

Mine's either in one of the Uni's many car parks or locked in the compound behind our house; it's a pretty questionable area, nothing like Cottingham was last year, unfortunately :(.

You should get a white one, it's the only colour I've yet to see in the flesh haha :p.
 
I walked away from Sassy, every alloy dinged. Scratch on front bumper, no parcel shelf. Rear bumper repair, backbox gone. Failed it's first mot on most of the front suspension and illegally spaced number plate, shagged gear gaiter. (Meaning one thing about last owner)

The cambelt had been done. I didn't drive it, but loved the seats.
 
I live in Cottingham, I've yet to see another 100hp on the road. I drive an 07 100hp In grey, reg plate ends in ZZA give me a wave if you see me, i do my weekly shop at ASDA on kingswood lol.

I lived there all year last year and didn't see you once, if I see you about I'll be sure to wave :wave:.

Now I know why no one ever sees 100HPs, all 100HPs live in Hull and no one ever ventures into Hull without a damn good reason :p.

I've seen a woman driving one around Kingswood and one usually parked in the Brantano/Argos part. Dunno if it's the same one.


Ok, so heres a couple of pics. I know backboxes rot, but still I doubt it would last long...

The rear bumper was bubbled and full of orange peel, the 'carbon' tape isn't standard? I assume covering something up.

My budget isn't concours, but it also isn't shed.
 
Looks like the rear end has had a bit of a touch, probably worth taking it off and having a look behind and under the boot carpet just for piece if mind.......but only if you intend to buy...

I did... fast.

It seemed like the car was owned by a 19 year old as a first car and tret like a rally car.
 
A few signs to look for, 4 immaculate wheels, 4 Goodyear Eagle F1's or other decent tyre, a tasteful backbox, normal colour bulbs and lenses, normal ride height and just general OEM'ness.

19 year old + bubbling bumper paint + treated like a rally car = I get the feeling that's gone backwards through a hedge on at least one occasion...

It's such a shame so many young drivers are idiots, they ruin it for the rest of us who love cars, respect the road and generally behave in a civilised manner :(.

:yeahthat:

Well looked after and mostly OEM is likely the mean previous owner(s) who treated their car as it was meant to be treated; with plenty of love and money and not like something from Fast and Furious.

There are 8 on ebay at the moment - all fall into the category of 'nova' in the making... :eek:
