Stu9 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 £750 and how many miles? £750 is cheap - way too cheap - I wonder why ? 135000....It's advertised for 1200 I offered that, they said yes it was mot's 2 weeks ago (kwik fit...nuff said) It's really a lot of advisories.. Both front wishbones, front discs, brake pipes, trail arm bushes and front tyres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) So you offered £450 (nearly 40 % ) less than the asking price & they bit your hand off - I can hear the alarm bells from here !

Stu9 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 I guess it still is kinda dodgy as they said they were out the other day and cut and the eml came, it started again and eml went out! I don't think I've had one go out after coming on or if I have, don't remember when Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ianb Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 No....It's selling for 1200 I offered 750 He said £450 less than price... But yes, as much as I don't like 1.6 trash talking, I'm inclined to agree that their acceptance rings alarm bells.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu9 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 I guess it does...especially when they've lost the main key/fob and only got one that had to be programmed by a mobile guy, plus when I went to see it I turned it on, got all lights ect but didn't start then suddenly did mmmmmm Maybe I should leave it....wear/tear mechanicals to be replaced are one thing but electrics are another and can run into hundreds and could end up costing the same again to put right....you've really got me thinking now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ianb Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Just don't get it.... Unless you're happy to take on what sounds like a lemon. Really a car like that with that many little things here and there really requires someone that I'd going in there saying "I want this and I know what to do with anything that goes wrong, if it goes too wrong, I'll strip it for parts and make my money back" Rather than yourself (and me, it's not a personal attack) who came onto this umming and ahhing, hoping to get some encouragement and support and finding very little.. I might be way off, but you sound like the type of person that is going to be stuck between a rock and a hard place when the car turns out to be a dud. Just my ill advised opinion, it's your money, your choice, but I suspect the replies you hoped were going to come about have not appeared yet, and probably never will.... Edit: if you do decide to buy the car then I have some bottled air from the top of Everest you might be interested in, a fortune in African dollars and a plot of land left to me by a rich benefactor in the US, all of which you might be interested in... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I can think of a lot of better things to spend £750 on than a pig in a poke & that's without taking into account the engines reputation :) I'm almost tempted to pay you not to buy it :) !

Lenny Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 £750 is cheap - way too cheap - I wonder why ?DPF alone is worth 800 I'm now hoping it has one 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 That sums it up Lenny - the dpf is worth more than the seller wants for the entire car ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 That sums it up Lenny - the dpf is worth more than the seller wants for the entire car ! at the price though it allows room for investment in preventive maintenance I mean if it blows turbo in the morning it's still worth more than 750 in parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
