What a complete waste of time listing it like that.

Must have taken months to read all that spiel Billy!
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Why? I could have cleaned up most of the shite cars I've owned Tim but it wouldn't make them any good to drive. Spit and polish mean eff all mate, in fact eBay is testament to that having seen some of the absolute rubbish masquerading as 'good condition' on there.tim leech wrote:Looks clean and tidy though, worth a punt!
Let's be honest here the vendor of this particular car has listed it for two reasons, and two reasons only: he either doesn't want to sell it or it's riddled with faults and he thinks by not mentioning anything at all about the car it's up to the winning bidder to find after listing has ended or has asked questions before end of listing. What you need to ask about anyone selling a car so badly is why they didn't describe it properly and will they be completely honest about all faults if you ask them?
For my money this should be kept as well away from as people who have private listings.

Could be right their Billy, but who knows?, my TXD had one lousy picture & a pretty miserable description, yet turned out to be excellent.
Need to ask the seller the usual questions to find out if its hiding anything nasty, mind u most people dont know the answers to most of the questions anyway, as they have done no work themselves.....
To be honest, i think these shite descriptions fall into our favour anyway, as it wont go for a lot, so someone will grab a bargain......
Anyone on here going to go for it?
