Just watched it go for £310! Saw a nice camera go for about £17 earlier (easily worth £100). Obviously a good time to buy if you can afford it.

I was tempted, but I simply don't have room for another car at home.


16VT and X1/9 1500 + e208 Peugeot

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

He wouldn't have been able to until after the 3rd January 2013 proccy - 3 month waiting rule for newbies to sell.

What on earth posseses people to try & sell stuff (particuarly vehicles on eBay crazy) a week before Christmas beggars belief - especially in the current UK financial situation.

I wouldnt even dream of listing a vehicle on eBay circa November - February.

TBH,I DGAF over their 'selling' mentality.
I bought my coupe locally from a nice guy on the 27th December nearly 5 year ago.

If he has been driving it around with the outstanding issues he needed his head checking. I think we will see it up for braking on eBay very shortly due to rather expensive list of repairs. Sorry to here this will.

Sounds like Mario at Donington shocked biglaugh

Oh dear Will - has he sent you any details? Agree whole-heartedly with SamS. If he has just been a genital Caveat Emptor and check your nuts (of the wheel variety).

Nope no details, i have been using it for around a hundred miles each week with no wheel related problems ,
surely though if it was loose nuts wouldnt you hear them baning when braking?, i remember them knocking on my mates mini when he had loose wheel nuts.

You would get vibration though steering which there was when I took it out, you would then feel it though feet, then it would shake car...then it falls off. I put it down to balancing however as it was slight.
Once they start to come loose its not generally long till they come off.
Its not your problem, don't stress you updated the eBay add and were very honest and the buyer had ample opertunity to check the basics before putting 100s of miles on it. It went for less than the price of a good service.. And any one buying something like this at that price should be aware there is no such think as a free lunch.
