Help! Advice on private sale gone terribly wrong :-(

All I can say is "Wow!"

You lucky, lucky man.

Glad you enjoyed the saga.

Taking into account the extra expense with the return ferry, and the bargain price I let it go for, I made £140 profit...

The bike made about £290 in profit.

Got my eye on a category C Ducati ST3 as my next project, so that'll be another thread!

How did you make £140 profit? Was the car free in the first place?

Advertised for £800, say sold for £740, less £300 for the ferry, plus £100 lost deposit =£540, bought for £400 and there's your £140 profit on a car with dodgy brakes, suspension and exhaust that we know of
