j_jza80 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Sounds nice by the description, but has failed to mention mileage, which generally indicates high miles, and he's not even bothered to take decent pictures, or clean the front wheels.

curious Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Sorry if repost but found this whilst browsing: http://m.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C756898 Dude that's been on and off for sale for ages, owner was always a bit conservative when asked for for information or just didn't reply back. Approach with caution my friend ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 This gives a bit of a clue to the mileage Can't believe I missed that But a basic error to forget to mention it in the ad. Assuming that's 106 and not 166, that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 That's been listed since last Summer. Original story was an elderly gent who had retired to Spain and used it as his commute car to and from the UK but he was having issues getting in and out of the damned thing. Price hasn't changed at all but I'd suspect after this long for sale the mileage probably has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Even at 106 i'd want to see lots more info on its history as to what's been done to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raddys Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Care to elaborate ? So basically just over a year ago i had a na5.. i was hunting for a TT and came accross that one.. i messaged the guy who at the time didnt own the car and was acting as a middle man for the 75 year old gent who didnt want the hassle of potential buyers coming to the door.. long story short i was promised that i had first refusal on the car and had even offered £1k deposit, he assured me the car was mine (after he had sorted the blown ecu out) and that id no need to give a deposit.. he then started giving me dates saying it was just about ready to be sold. I then wrote up an ad for my na5 and sold it within a couple of weeks. I contacted jay and said i have it all in cash just let me know when i can collect.. nothing for weeks.. i contacted again and got a shit excuse something along the lines of "oh really sorry the old guys given it to his son now" .. and then 4 or 5 months later i see that jay has put it up for sale himself.. turns out a few other member of the forum had the exact same promises to them also.. so like i say the guy's a total time wasting twat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
