New clutch 13,000 miles ago - not sure what to look for, but is there anything glaringly obvious missing or that starts alarm bells ringing?

Not too sure myself on the colour, or the light interior with an 18 month daughter, but just trying to get a feel for what might make a good car really.

A few threads on this one Dan and the consensus is walk away....Not in the greatest condition as I believe someone went to look at it...but I could be wrong......Not far from me though if you want to take a look....

Rare to see a facelift manual.

I'd struggle with the reg plate though.

There's actually 4 facelift manual cars for sale on Autotrader, I know the one you mention, the owner's in my village. There are only two facelift cambiocorsas currently on sale, an 83000 miler and mine.

The most obvious thing missing are the paddles just in front of the steering wheel. However, you do get that nasty looking stick thing in the middle. Walk away and find one without 3 foot pedals.

My three pedal 4200 was perfect...well until I wanted to upgrade and then I lost the left hand pedal!

That's because you moved forward in time, not back!

No idea what time space thingy I am in. Let's face it anyone with an M4 or whatever will feel that our cars are from the 1970s.

This one was up for sale for ages and dropped to £13,995. Didn't sell and then price went back up to £15,995. Manuals are less desirable come resale and therefore worth less.

You know I thought it was cheaper at one stage rockits.......Why would they think it would sell for 16 if it didn't for 14.....Will say it looks OK in the pictures...

That sounds more like stupidity than it does psychology.

Agreed...obviously doesn't know the market, buyers or is deluded. Either way it shouldn't sell at thy price.

Or may be he's spent some money on it tidying it up to sell thus now worth more.

Lots of posts on here about this guy and previous cars he's tried to sell. I ve tried to deal with him in the past and walked away, as have others. Price kept changing. All a bit dodgy.
