What were the issues that weren't mentioned by the seller and how have these been rectified? It might help other sellers if you detailed them. No slagging (at all, I assure you), just asking for facts.

Thanks

Hi and again thank you

Heated seats inop, thermostat leaking, front brakes warped, not red clip on fuel pipe it was sender unit shot, back lights bodged in as when collected it had a side light inop lit on dash n/s/r no attempt to fix ? So yes spent money which was counted for or would have put up for less £67.00 train £50 in fuel + work done and then my time advert and valet. It must be a crime if you buy off here to blow money then lol ? Just want these cars to stay alive and not be worthless and yes I have had loads of them.

Funnily enough, I was going to buy this car from the original ad on here but was told it was provisionally sold!

So I went and bought another more local to me which I am totally happy with.

This one has a couple of issues but as they are 'service' related I deem that a mere obligation on my part to correct the issues and enjoy the mota!

Well done to the chap making a small uplift and keeping the car in circulation.

Off later to sort me a new key via Phil T4,,

If the seller got what he wanted for it and the next chap gets £200 or £2000 more so what? Its got nothing to do with anyone its his car and if he drove it into a wall thats his business.
We all have to earn a living and thats his. Its a lovely car and will no doubt do someone well.

thank you yes lovely car and after money I've spent im now happy with it just doing my job that's all. not sure what all the fuss was about if others thought it was worth more why not put the cash up ASAP ? these are now moaning at so called big margins so why not buy it before me ? perhaps jealously or they just have nothing better to do than gripe.... profit after outlay and time + work is not a dirty word

Fair play to you mate. Nothing wrong here. It's your car and now you can do whatever you like with it, sell it keep it, whatever. It's your business and nobody else's.

And with those two final comments I think it's time to bring this thread to a close.
