This one must win a prize. I quote;
"Mint condition as you can see"

Hmm, the seller admits the bonnet is a little faded. He seems to neglect the fact it's been run over by a double blue line painting machine rolleyes

My search moves on laugh

Minter - aka munter :-)

Get rid of those stripes, mop the car, could be a good un? Mileage is good. You never know mate!! I'll do the mopping for you, only £5000.00 excl. expenses.

The reserve is set at an unusual but lowly £236.

Be interesting to see where it end up?

In one sentence, he says:

Quote
drives brilliantly

no problems with it


And then later goes on to say:

Quote
needs a new battery...

no mot/tax or insurance...

slight rusting on corner of car above the lights...

only has one key


That's quite a few problems for a car that has 'no problems' rolleyes

If I bought the car and was on limited funds I would have to pay to get rid of them stripes before sorting the engine out

I'm sure the word "mint" was used somewhere as well.

One day Id love to email one of these sellers along the lines of;

"do you have pictures of the mint car you are talking about because all I can see are pictures of some PoS..."


But its not worth the hassle.....
