Starts off saying its a 4.0 then realises its a 4.2
starts off saying it hasnt got PAS then realises it has

with 56k on it in bright red £12500 is not such a bargain IMHO

So its official Jools is a red man. Good for you jools, you know a good colour when you see it. Better than all these blue meanies.

Also it seems to have had a respray. Impossible to do 53000 miles and have a front end looking that good. Mines a 2000 with only 25K on the clock and a photo from that angle would show some chips.

I should be all at the early cerb prices but unfortunately the same has hit the Chimaera market so bargain cerbs are still the same ££s different from bargain chims...

if it's been painted that's a good thing .. something else you don't have to spend money on after you've bought it .. why hasn't this sold???????

I know it's on the register & it's been in a couple of weeks, but if I had the spare money & it drive's straight, that would be the one for me.

He's listing it as 450 brake, so it's either RR or a misprint.

It's been relisted at £14000. Maybe he reads PH.

Nobody bids at £12.5k. So he relists it at £14k??? Don't think this guy gets it! Sigh. Why not just start the bidding at £0.00 and get people interested in "playing the game"???

Wonder if there's a market for setting up a co. doing seminars on how to make the most money out of listings on EBay...

I put my nsx on and only got £13.5k the first time, so I relisted with a buy it now at £17k and sold it within 3 days at the full price

Changing the parameters to a buy-it-now is fair enough. But he gets 0 bids with a starting bid of £12,500, so next time he lists it with a higher starting bid??? Sigh.
