The price.

Half that, or less and it'll sell - eventually.

Less than half, £500 tops. It's got what appear to be the most blinging (and bloody horrible) wheeltrims too.

Those look like the same disgusting trims that adorn the wheels of the silver BX. They dont even look nice on new cars, so why anyone would think they make a BX look nicer...

Those trims appear on a few BXs that I've seen ... strange, because I can't think of any that would be worse for a car like that.

Well, I'm going to visit the silver BX again tomorrow, check it all over with the new info I have and see if I can convince the seller to sell it for less considering it has a few issues.

Amount of known issues doubled after todays visit, did not buy.

Ah yeah, what else did it have wrong?

Boxwolf · Post by **Boxwolf** » Sun Mar 01, 2009 5:12 pm

Previously known
* unhappy accumulator
* questionable front suspension
* water in boot
* seller in denial

Now known
* clearly busted front struts
* perished boot seal
* faulty rear windows/switches
* driver's seatbelt holder broken
* occasional indicators/interior fan
* seller who insisted someone else was coming to see the car later in the day and had agreed to pay £500, but who claimed I had "ruined his sunday" when I told him I wasnt buying the car unless he took the price down.
