I need a cheap runaround and found one that fits the bill spec wise. I'm British but in mainland Europe so the need of a LHD seriously hinders choice.

This one looks good on spec, but if someone can't be bothered removing a stinking old lemonade bottle before photographing... do they deserve to have it bought?

The floor mats put me off more TBH, they are absolutely gopping. Bin them off sharpish.

lol it's only a lemonade bottle

I was expecting an out of focus upside down filthy car...I'm not sure one bottle qualifies as "extremely sloppy"

Evans Halshaw often advertise cars that are unwashed with filthy interiors. Sums that business up nicely.

I would be more interested in how the car drove and if the price was right.

If it puts you off that much then buy another car.

I suspect it could be a prop

A bit like the fake forex traders who carry their Tesco champagne bottles around for use in photos along with their empty shopping bags

Maybe I've lived here too long. That one is a 2011 Turbo, 65k miles and £30k. That seems real cheap to what I can get on Portuguese plates.

Twice the mileage.... and twice the price redface

Still not a cheap runaround though is it? For most a cheap runaround us no more than £3k, not £30k!

£3k might be an expensive car to some. For him, £30k might be a cheap car.

Yes that would put me off too, along with the filthy carpet mat and dirty leather.
