It does indeed look good, however I'm curious about the price tag, 400 for a petrol BX with no T&T, highly bulled-up and the pictured wheels not included would cause me concern, as would lack of photo's.

However if you lived near enough you would go check it out, wouldn't you

Looks good but reading the ad it appears not to have an mot,
i can't understand why people don't get an mot on a car they are trying to sell,
if the car is that good passing an mot should not be a problem and gives the car more value

Dont like the wheels, and i just get a sense that sommat isnt quite right, but it is indeed the reddest red BX ive ever seen.

When advertising a car in Britain, I would have thought an advert in English would be helpful.

I don't mean to sound snobby, but it really isn't an encouraging advert. The car (which is very red

) may be fantastic, but I wouldn't travel a round trip to the end of our road to view it, based on the advert, never mind the 500 miles it would take in reality.

Yep, I do sound like a snob. Can't help it - retired English teacher and not immune to errors in expression.

It's a curse, isn't it?

(retired English teacher here too...)

Maybe the advertiser's first language isn't English?

I'd be surprised if it is.

The motor has done 187828 miles and been sprayed with Superwax wherever it matters. However, dont know what the condition of the bodywork was like before said spraying.
Looks good but high mileage for a petrol jobbie.

Does look shiney, but £400 starting bid with no test and that mileage and he wants extra for the wheels? Is it me or am i not reading the pigeon english proppa?
