Is it just me or is that "conver table" not blue but silver?
Always worth viewing. Even my daughter speaks chav text - seems to be accepted these days in a certain generation.

If he/she puts that little effort into getting cash for it, how much effort will they have taken in caring for it...

Would you really want a car with so little luggage space you have to carry your morning newspaper from the shop taped to the numberplate?

wouldnt put me off if the car ticked the right boxes. Chances are the seller isn't the brighest hence the spelling etc, and they don't use the internet often and someone has said try piston heads to sell the car.

Go and have a look, worse case is you go see it and its no good, costs you a bit fuel? If you smell a rat walk away

To be honest no, it could be an opportunity. I would at least phone and ask some choice questions.
It could be a great car that's been well looked after, just that the vendor has poor command of the English language.
The poor ad just means less people will enquire = potentially better negotiation position for the buyer.

Wrong badge for me!

ETA: Just seen your location. The car is about 30-40mins from me I think, if i can help then I've no problem going to look at it for you. I work in car sales and owned a vx220 so I know enough to spot a bad apple.

Looks like a decent, standard car. Go and have a look, see what you think. Then insult him with a cheeky offer

I tend to buy the seller not the car so I'd probably pass on that
