Surely if Nick33 was serious about selling on here he'd reply himself? Hasn't done too many posts since registering a month ago.

If you're not sure about it don't convince yourself it's "the one". There's lots of cerbs and I guess only have 1 pot of coin. Not the fastest shade of blue anyway

This was on my short-list of cars a couple of weeks back, give Nick a call, he emailed me back with all the info on my questions, i think a decent amount of money has been spent by the looks of it. It has been up for sale for a year tho by the looks of it.....I rememebr seeing this one early in 2006 when I first started thinking of Cerb shopping.

A YEAR?:EEK: Is this common for cerbs to take this long to sell? if not then is this one dodgey?

not necessarily, maybe it was taken off and put back on again. Also it's quite high mileage so maybe that put punters off. I think its a lovely colour scheme (paint/leather/wheels) so prob worth a viewing. I settled for a black car which is what I was always after, put it this way this was my next car to view after the one I actually ended up buying. I think cerbs are all so individual and most people know exactly what they want so I think unless a car is a REAL bargain being up for sale for a while doesn't necessarily mean its a rough'un.

I’ve been thinking about going to see this too, its spanking gorgeous. Nick sounds like a good guy on the phone. I don’t think he's in a rush to sell it or anything.

Anybody actually been to see it?

I could be wrong here, but I think its PH'er "Futie"s old Cerb... may be worth checking his profile and having a look at the history of the car there too? From what I remember, he was a very enthusiastic owner himself, so if it is the same car, assuming Nick's taken care of it (I have no reason to believe otherwise at the moment) - its probably a good one to buy.

Give Nick a PM!

His car's a very nice car! we met him when we brought the Sport Zorsts off of him, it's a pretty tidy car! and the colour is magnificent in the sun light!

i viewed this car, drivers seat leather and the steering wheel is very worn, door seals and boot seal are very poor i.e. swimming pool in boot and drenched door cards. passenger window didnt go up when door was closed and there are a few scratches where a new battery has tried to be fitted unsuccessfully. Very honest seller thought didnt try to cover anything up but it wasn't the car for me. Would make a nice car with a bit of work and the price reflects that. Colour looks very good in the flesh aswel

not exactly anything there is difficult to fix, i'd be asking if it has suspension upgrades, sports zorsts, cats in or out?, then you'll know a bit about how its driven and what the previous owners have invested into their cars. also who's in the service history if it has any, it should have some.

windows can usually be sorted out by drying the control pcb in the door (can of contact spray should do it)
