Bit of a bargain VTS?

[JAM]

Was having a quick look through pistonheads for a friend, came across this - whats everyone think? Price seems good for mileage, however can't help think there is a catch - discuss.

Possibly, although exterior looks pretty immaculate.

Not enough detail about the car. Looks like a women selling the car too, don't think women demand as much money for their car as a lad might. She might be a total novice with cars and not know a true valuation for her car. saying that it could be a genuine offer.

or it could just be a womans name, to trick people into ringing them

Ring them and find out

[Wade]

Ring them up go out in it and if you're really bothered get a mechanic to look it over :) also check history :D

Mileage?
If your interested Id call up and ask a few more questions.
Mileage, owners, Any work carried out etc
If its genuine that its a steal price mate :y:

[Giraffe]

Been on there for ages as well, gotta be a reason for that.

[dav0506]

I've just done a check on it:
First registered Dec '01
3 owners
1 colour change
No stolen record
Not scrapped
No record of it been a total loss by insurers

So i did a valuation report:
With 90,000 miles
New £11,644
Forecourt £2,788
Trade in £1,733
Private £2,063
Auction £1,599

Must be something up with it, or just wanting a quick sale.

[pattersonvts]

it might have been clocked or something like that.

[Aly]

Got to ask yourself Jam, why has it been up for sale for 24 days.
Something musn't be right.

[0rang3peel]

[Meto]

If its too good to be true, it probably is. Although, the outside looks in very good nick.

Does he even own a car?

[MikeYost]

It says it has had a colour change? To another standard saxo colour? Seems a bit off to me.. although i may have misinterpreted the thing you got from the dvla.. Lol :panic:

That's how I read it as well, seemed a bit silly to me too...

[Bickerton]

It's not massively underpriced tbh

[dav0506]

I did a mileage check on it, no mileage check found.
So i did a mileage check for my car 53534 miles recorded on 28th jan 2010. I don't know how they got that info either!

alot of people don't know this but if you ring up and ask for the Document Reference number you can check all the past MOT's and check mileage and all things its failed on or got an advisory on.
i can't do it on my car as its not due its first mot yet.

The rest is lies :D

[Cammy]

Its been up for 24 days, its probly gone, its also a woman seller by the looks of it, not everyone holds imaculate cars at high prices - some may run into problems, i.e debt... like me. >.<

[SneakyVTR]

"Please no time wasters or test pilots" Not wanting anyone to test drive it? Thats enough to make me keep looking

[Meto]

I think they mean they just don't want people test driving it with no intention of buying it. Just viewing it just for a free ride like.

[stiffler69]

Seems to me like someones just been realistic for a change
