Sorry if this is a relisting but I got a response to my question. Re: the feedback, I don't think it would be a problem as I think it was a malicious thing... Anyway, car seems straight and if you're paying cash what's the problem, I say. I'd be interested if the price doesn't rise too high... but I think I have too much on to contemplate it at the moment! Anyway, worth checking out:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %3AIT&rd=1

FROM THE SELLER:
I am using my girlfriends account as i don't use ebay. The car is in really good condition. No rust or any damage inside out. All electrics work (all windows) only the stereo isn't operational but the spaekers are good i know. The tyres will also run for another 2x years. The cambelt was changed at 100k. The 1st owner was a mechanic and he kept the car well maintained. I don't know if you ever had a BX but my opinion is that it is a very economical car, the turbo makes it quick and you can still pack even a bed into it. (i pay £320 insurance/per year with Elephant.co.uk)
This one is very nice inside and it's not the ugly white colour on the outside. I'll attach a couple of more pics.
I have the manual, user guide and other documentation with the car.
Obviously it is not a new car it does give the odd sounds here and there but it's all normal. If you like i will give you my mechanic's mobile: Steve: 07808858905. (Refer to Kornel with a grey turbo diesel BX) He had done a full service on it in November last year and had seen the car before i put it on ebay, as i am the honest type. Feel free to call him and ask opinion. He is a long term acquaintance of mine.

Ooh i just remembered; 1x wheel trim is missing - now you know everything:))

What a refreshing change! Nice to see an honest and articulate reply to a question, he seems very genuine. Be nice to see one of the members buy it, not me though already have enough!

Never buy a car from a mechanic.They work on everybody's car but their own

When I was a little lad (cue Hovis music) my dad bought a car off his brother in law (a mechanic) F-all worked on it

It took him ages to sort it all out

Blimey Barnsley BXer, cheer up...

Seriously though, I imagine it's going to be worth a punt if the money's sensible - mechanic or not!

Does that mean you'll be bidding on this one Phil?

If I can get it for less than a couple of hundred (unlikely) probably, yes. If it creeps up much over that it's going to be difficult at this time to justify. However - I reckon I'd sell one of my GTI autos if I did win it - but only because I guess I could save £400 a year or more in fuel costs!

Tax bill and post-Christmas pennilessness (

) are THE deciding factor!

I know - I just had a good chuckle reading your latest contribution. Thanks (as I sit here working - ho hum). Anyway, no offence intended, mate.

No offence taken.Sometimes my warped sense of humour worries me too

I always remember the words spoken to me on a course a few years ago"you can only be upset/annoyed if you let yourself be"Since then I just smile

Just checked and it's gone stupid. Some (0) and (-1) rated bidders playing at eBay. It's gone over £300 already, not that that's unreasonable, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this car relisted in the not too distant future.

It made £460 at auction.
