Need A Favour

[George16v]

Guys this car that I went to see ages ago, is still for sale,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ssPageName=WDVW

Basically the guy has been messed about and has emailed me to see if I am still interested,

also a bloke came to look at my car yesterday and seemed like he really wanted it so hopefully will be able to get the MR2 soon.

But think I could get this one for £2500 which In my opinion would be a complete bargain, but would rather spend £5k if this car is going to cause me loads of probs.

SO I JUST WONDERED IF ONE OF YOU COULD COME AND LOOK AT IT WITH ME!! PLEASE!!

It is in Central London near me - Clapham way!!

Looks nice, but it says it's sold! FOR £2600!!!!

CHEAP AS CHIPS!!!

[TheNissanMan]

am always cautious of eBay, nice car but you have to ask why its being sold so cheap...

personally wouldnt touch it with a barge pole unless I could have a very good look at it. if its as good as it says bargain...

[George16v]

Well I went to look at it about 3 weeks ago and thought it was pretty nice, But am not very knowledgeable on these cars, which is why I want someone to look with me, It isn't sold yet as the bloke emailed me asking I was still interested as he had been messed about by someone on eBay, Also he is selling it cheap because he needs to get rid as lost his license and can't afford to keep it where it is parked!

So-if anyone could come and look with me would be good - Deus?

[George16v]

It is in Clapham.

If there is no-one on here that can help and you cannot find anyone else to help then you could try an RAC / AA inspection. I know they are sometimes criticised when it comes to specialised cars but it might be worth it for peace of mind. I had an inspection on a Golf VR6 Highline a while back that showed up some expensive problems....... The way I looked at it is it may have cost me 200 quid but it stopped me making an expensive mistake so saved it really saved me £5K.... BARGAIN! Dont know what the other peeps on here think or if anyone has any experience with an inspection on a 2 Turbo?

Hope it turns out to be the bargain it MIGHT be but if you are in the slightest bit worried then walk away........ was really gutted when I didnt go for an Anniversary Edition that just didnt seem right but glad i waited for mine........ as is often quoted on here....."If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"

Good luck mate - hope it all goes well, would offer to come and look but i am in Cardiff, oh and I know f*** all about cars too ;)

I'm in Llanedeyrn mate.

I was thinking of a meet near the coast somewhere (Rhoose maybe). Some nice pubs down there.

[TheNissanMan]

I'm in Cardiff (st mellons) if the car is local down here am sure I could pop over and have a look :) let us know if you need a hand...

[EarL]

Yo Rhaines...! I didn't know you were a Cardiff lad! :D

Would you be interested in a local meet? I'm trying to get together a suitable location (pub) near the coast. Rhoose maybe?

[George16v]

oi whats happened to my topic, Need someone to come look at a car with me next week. In london!

Oh well will have to ring someone to come out I guess!

[EarL]

Soz George. Nicked your thread there mate. Ooops! :P

Can anyone in the London area help out?

[Nicola]

Don't think anyone lives close enough to help.

You sound as though you badly want the car, so as mentioned earlier, get it inspected. No harm in finding out the condition of everything.

I did this before buying my '2, just for piece of mind.

Being so keen, you may find you have the rose tinted spectacles on. So get a proper inspection, especially as it has no history, thats not a very good sign.

[George16v]

I would get an inspection except that my friends and my father have both experienced major problems with cars even when they have had inspections that say it is fine, This is why I want someone who really knows these particular cars well!

I am sure Deus may do it, I shall have to ring him, think he is the closest to me probably.

That is a tru bargin!
