That's cheap, if it's not on the register. I'm not sure the sellers obliged to tell you it's had a prang or not.

And if the factory fixed it, It couldn't have been that bad.

"Coming to a dealers near you soon" me thinks

I Always like to see some pictures personally.

However, it might just be that ONE bargain of the century that comes round every now and then. Somebody with more money than sense and can't be bothered?

PROBABLY NOT THOUGH!

There was a 2001 Speed 6 Cerb that went for £12K not that long ago.

Was perfectly straight, chap just wanted shot of it.

Sometimes these things happen.

that does sound very cheap,even for a cat D that would be cheap, say i had £10k spare i could go and buy it then sell a week later and should at least see a £5k profit, got to be more trouble than its worth i think.

You do get the odd bargain pop up now & then, wasn't there A Chim in the classifieds recently (owned by a doctor ?) that was up for less than £5k, someone on here bought it over the phone.

And someone spotted a Cerb last year at a dealers for under £10k, he posted it on the Cerb forum, it sold & the guy was inundated with calls.


Not saying this Tusc is any good, but you do get the odd bargain every now & then.

FSH at factory, even if it's a pig it's worth £10k.

Normally true but not always. Many moons ago I used to buy and sell cars and used to keep the local papers for a few weeks and ring around looking for sellers who were stuck with cars. There was a car worth £2500 advertised for £25, I assumed it was a misprint when I first saw it but rang back weeks later to see if he was stuck with it to make hime an offer. He told me the car had sold so I asked did he mind telling me what he got for it, he answered £25. What do you mean I asked? He then went on to explain that he had gone through a divorce and one of the items "she" was awarded was half the proceeds from the sale of their car. Knowing that she could come back to him had he sold it to someone he knew for £25 he sold it to a complete stranger for £25. He hated her so much he was willing to burn the money rather than give it to her. True story.
