Talk me out of it

[farrendahl]

Pistonheads brother and sisters, please talk me out of doing something very very silly

This isnt going to help - but if all else fails, thats two very nice new office chairs & a sofa youve got yourself!

[JTeb]

Well it's not an MX5 for a start.

[PJS917]

Yep, not buying it would be very silly indeed

[trickywoo]

Stuart is a bit shouty and I don't like the wheels but seems cheap enough if its tidy.

Plus a coffeetable

No talking out required, it will probably be one of the best decisions you'll ever make.

[sherman]

If I had the spare money I would have it.

[ZesPak]

Goddammit! If I lived in the UK you wouldn't have to worry anymore, I'd have bought it before you could.

That is silly low money for a classy big car with a very nice cabin.

[Greg_D]

he states that it isn't perfect, which is ebay talk for fooked, he also makes no reassuring comments about it's mechanical state. Personally, i would avoid

[farrendahl]

Right it's going on the watch list for further consideration. Have got the cash but it's that whole fully weighing up bit I need to do (and find out how much the insurance is going to rape me)

[fatboy69]

Buy it. If i was closer i would already be beating down the front door with cash in hand. Nothing wrong with that car for £850.00.

Wheels not great but who cares.

Its ugly and the advert is a bit shouty but other than that there doesn't seem to be much wrong with it.

A sh*t example of a fantastic car. If nothing else "THIS CAR IS A ROCKET SHIP" in the ad should make you run a mile.

There are others about for similar money, try to find one that isn't too f*cked, good luck

Oh it does raise an eyebrow shall we say, it's just that whole scouting ebay, seeing something and instantly thinking "WANT" that has kicked in here lol

[McSam]

A manual one in black for that money?

I wouldn't have posted it here, means someone else might get it! Do it

Hopefully the ad and st pictures will scare off anyone who doesn't know the cars.

That may have been my subconcious at play, if somebody else gets it, I'm saved from making the choice myself. (Plus should give me some kind of karmic boost surely) lol

[SlimRick]

If you don't buy it, I might - then I'd be in huge trouble with Mrs. SlimRick. Do you want that on your conscience?

[Aberdeenloon]

Get it bought!

Might be worth a chat with the guy to suss him out first though...

You say ugly, I say unconventionally handsome. Plus anybody has to agree that is a hell of a lot of car for very little outlay
