So a little heads up...

Basiclaly been looking for a little diesel to use as a daily due to the Chim killing me as a regular hack.. (never intended it to be obviousley)

Anyway spotted the following on ebay and it is only 10 miles away so i had punt....there was a reserve and a BIN of 700, i put 500 on and im winning with a couple of hours to go!!!

The car is a 1999 306 Diesel with 102k on the clock....

500 seems a steal to me!!! If i win smile

I bought a Mondeo ST24 exactly this way. A detailed description is a good indicator. If you view it when picking it up and find a major discrepancy that wasn't in the description the deal is off anyway. I sold it the same way a year later.

Good luck - £500 doesn't get you much these days and lots of people are after these so if you win it and it's not needing much for it's MOT soon then it's a bargain biggrin

Doesn't look too bad, the 0 feedback is a little bit of a concern though.

I've bought two cars unseen off ebay. A 1984 E30 316 (which was as rubbish as described, but was fun on the ring), and my 1976 Dolly Sprint (hilarious as a first car)

2 months MOT scratchchin
If I bought it it would probably be a total fail, for others it would run for years to come frown

my current Alfa was bought unseen for £300. No tax or MOT

One headlight bulb and a new battery and straight through its MOT.

Zero advert info on the mechanical condition or problems. It's a bit large for a paper weight. You've been done mate hehe
