Depends what needs doing. Not cheap enough to risk without a full breakdown of what is wrong with it.

13k as seen.

OK Likely fixes
Clutch £1200
Brakes £500
Major Service £1,000
Dodgy history - £1-2k of value
Paintwork - min £300
Tyres and wheel refurb £800

Total Purchase Price £13,000 + £3,800 remedial = £16.800 for a car that only books at 13k...even if it had a good history.

Leave well alone and buy one that’s been loved

My sentiments exactly. I did! Steer well clear of it boys. Worth £10k

I would assume that they will not even be offering a three month warrenty which makes it a very risky buy.

 

[ADM]

so the message here then guys is it seems cheap for a very good reason!!

I was under the impression that car dealers had to give a 3 month warranty with any car they sell. It's that price as they won't get that through the trade.

 

[ADM]

I thought that was the case as well, although they are selling it Sold As Seen. can they do that?

 

[Parisien]

Under that impression too..............as in if they trade a 2nd hand item.........then must offer something.......anyone give a definitve answer?

Good info Phil.....

"One in eleven car dealers rely on illegal disclaimers about the car's history and condition, such as that a car is 'sold as seen' or 'No Refund'. "

Page the sold as seen ref is on...?

Worth printing off....................I go blind reading too many pages on screen consecutively....

A lot of stuff on there that 2nd hand dealers think are optional or don't apply to them!!!

So in light of the above advert ......someone should report the seller to the TS people....................whose in Basingstoke???....
