well from your previous posts where do you expect sellers to flog their cars if not ebay/ auto trader! and now you want to report a seller on here????
Maybe he is just a bit hard up and wants the cash quick?

[lesstatt]

Report it for what exactly, bein too cheap ??

Well if the HPI report and an inspection is ok then he can sell it for what he wants, looks like someone might get a bargain if its ok

[SILICONE KID]

Lovely colour..UUUMMM should i buy another..Get over there and buy it.

I don't think it's fair to jump to conclusions because something looks cheap.

If answers to questions were suspicious or you had seen the car & alarm bells were ringing then you may have grounds. Don't just go off the ad though.

fair point cock, but would it kill him to say why he's selling so cheap, if its because the car is shagged someone is going find out, at least if its in the ad then he's up front and honest about it always a good sign, fair or what

Tell you what.... Why not ring up and ask him

Bit radical there Quinny. No fun in that if we can get 10 pages of speculation

Looks like the drivers door won't close

There is a Rob Ingleby report about 7 months and 1000 miles old
on this car, would you trust this or read while viewing the car to see what has changed
or spend the money on a new 1

I'll tell you what I wouldn't do

And that is, start a thread about some guys advert, on an unfounded hunch...

I agree, everyone has a reasons for their price.............

But what would you do on the report, i have seen it and reads ok, but no service history, i don't
think thats a major issue if you can see its been looked after, had 8 owners, is that high?

I need to get some time and go and view it this week

If it was me looking at that car, I'd ring the owner, get as much info as possible...and if I liked the sound of what I heard, I'd go and see it.....

Then I'd make a judgement on what I saw, and either buy it or not.....

I'm not really interested in what Rob Inglby thought of the car 6 months ago, I'd use my own eyes and knowledge and go from there...

At the end of the day its a £5.5k car with low miles and new outriggers... Its not a bad colour and its a 4.5 engine...

If it looks good enough and drives good enough, thats all there is to it.....

If people want FSH and warranty, etc etc go to a dealer and pay twice as much...

Thanks that helps me I'll ring him tomorrow see what he has to say

Best thing to do would be to either call 999 and report it direct to the authorities, take out a civil action against the owner or just run to mother?

How do you report adverts? What a homo.

[WokingWedger]

Even if the engine is absolutetly knackered and you spend £4000 on it you will still have car with a new engine for £9500. Not Bad at all !

[blueg33]

Its OK, the car has to be aimed at BlackpoolRocket

[mr shifty]

It's obvious why this one is so cheap - look at the picture of the interior.












Can you see the problem?












If you've not spotted it yet you're blind. Basically, the car is missing THE WHOLE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD AND THE A PILLAR! The seller has tried to hide this fact by covering it up with their finger. I'd call the DVLA immediately and give it a miss - there's simply no way to tell the engine speed or attach the right-hand edge of the windscreen without these crucial components.

A car is obviously suss because they are selling it for the wrong price ....... obviously.

There is a report link where complete fluking idiots like you are given the opportunity to waste the time of people who have better things to do than communicate with someone with less intelligence than a potted plant.

Well done, maybe you could move on to world peace now your work is done here.

jackthelad said:

No

jackthelad said:

No, but it isn't looking too good as far as you are concerned

jackthelad said:

Call Ghostbusters and waste some of their time too.

PS welcome to PH I am sure any of your future contributions will all be equally useful.

But what I don't understand is, why do they all end up on the Chim forum

I think I can shed some light on this, Gruff owners are not sharp enough to understand the subtlety of understated stupidity.
