it is cheap so it would cover the cost if out needs fixing...

this is a general comment not at you, i have NO sympathy for people buying cars of EBAY without even going to see it, not cheap cars either. a mate of mine bought an MRS and a RX8 off ebay without even viewing or driving he got lucky with one and the other had quite a few problems which more likely were there when he bought it and could have had checked out,

i wouldnt DREAM of spending any of my hard earned cash on something i havnt even seen or drive tbh unless it was realllllllllllll cheap like £1.99

I am exactly the same mate. Maybe we are just old school?

Anyhoo, a buddy of mine bought a mitsubishi colt glxi from ebay 2 years ago. He paid £600 and over those two years it has been driven off road, ragged around and just generally mistread. It just never goes wrong. If I did that to any of my cars, they would have given up at the first puddle :(

that seems to happen to cars i look after.. pees you off, had a mate who never did anything in a year to his ford ka, never done an oil change he would put £3-6 petrol in and ran it until it literally (quite often) wouldnt start nothing went wrong over a year me and mates were shocked and jelous then he had an mot and one day it all went wrong got a bill of about £800

Is a dodgy game worth the £2 txt to see if its in a crash,

I regret buying my saxo due to the fact that i have spent over two grand on parts and im just trying to get the same amount back.

My only advise a would say is stay away from cars with bodykits and convertions! you just fling money down the drain. im just looking for a simple standard car like that for the time being

Hahaha. My mate with the colt had exactly the same. Then they moan about how much they had to spend on their car and how much of a piece of junk it is. Makes me chuckle, as I used to spend way more than that to run the saxo every year.
