Be a bit careful on this, the price keeps changing. I called when it was £800 and what a strange conversation.

I called it rang then went to voice mail, I left a message. He called back and just silence on the other end, obviously a bit worried to get calls that went on for about 30 secs until I talked, he barely spoke English with very deep African accent and was incredible rude. Needlessly to say I just put the phone down in the end after a very cryptic conversation.

If you google the number he is obviously a dealer as quite a few gumtree ads all leave the impression that they are his long term car. He bought it off gumtree a month or so earlier for way under £500. There was someone viewing it at £800 then it has reappeared at over £1000.

Looks lovely just make sure you give it a good viewing first I suspect.

Blimey, a 1.8T too.

It almost seems too cheap. When I have the money, there'll be nothing going I suppose. Just up the road from me too.

The advert itself doesn't inspire confidence but I'd be straight up there if I was in the relevant position to buy.

He also states it has cruise control, something which was never available on the 1.8.

Yep not available from the factory, but could be an aftermarket fitment.

Possibly but this car certainly does not have it.

he also has an ultra rare Megane ''grab a bargain'' £65,000??????

It's a nice looking car, but personally I would avoid this seller like the plague

Well, the seller definitely sounds dodgy, but l would view if l had the ready's in my hand. All the better for 'negotiation' too.

A car can't choose it's vendor.
