Does any one know of this car?

Im interested in buying it although it seems a tad cheap

Can anyone shed any light for me on it please.

 

That is cheap!!

It was for sale on Autotrader quite some time ago 6/12 months and he was asking alot more for it then IIRC!

Well worth a look mate, 9.6k for that car is very good imo!

Good luck!

 

I have sent him some emails as the car is in Edinburgh and im in Northern Ireland.

Asking for receipts of work done, was there any faults with car etc

All he has for the car is the V5 and MOT Certificate.

So he mustn't have had the car when the work was carried out.

He told me that he has a current offer of 8.8k for the car so he must be in some rush to get rid of it, or is just like anyone else trying to flog their car on.

It just seems strange to me that a car with that list of mods is in this range. Its hard to find one standard that year etc without the mods for that price.

Is 100,000 miles ok with a car like this? what sort of mileage life is their in these?

 

Proper bargain.

 

When things seem to good to be true , they usually are mate, especially with Cosworths un fortunately, but its deffo worth a look, he may need a deposit on a house or summit daft like that and you might just be the lucky cunt who scores out the whole thing

 

pretty sure this lad is from ellon and has been trying to sell a lot of cars lately to fund a move into property

tbh for the spec and price id say its not exactly a minter........

well worth a look if you can get some pics of very important areas from seller

 

that plate used to be on a mallard green car, i remember it from a mag feature a few years back

 

Thats been for sale on ebay etc he's a con man the car doesnt exist he reckoned last time it was in ireland and the cash had to be sent before collection etc

 

At the end of the day a car is only worth what someome wants to pay for it,so get in there and grab what looks to be a bargin!!!!!

 

Have a look above mate, like I said when things seem to good to be true............well u know the rest

 

and on the other side of it

how quick would a "good" 9k cossie be snapped up?

this has been for sale on and off ebay for a while..........

 

someones post been removed?

 

Maybe its just someone who isnt sniffing glue wanting to sell their car quickly??? Easy way to find out is go get in a car and see it.

 

he's on this forum.

I was looking at it myself and searched a few key words from his for sale ad in the search engine here. wanted to check through posts to see if any info could be found.

 

Totally went off this car now with the help of some fellow Ford men.

The car has no receipts for the work that has been done to it.

When i asked the seller for more pics of certain areas etc he said he was bust at this time of year and wouldnt be able to help me out.

All seems a bit bogus in my opinion, im just glad i had my wits about me.

 

dunno about bogus? but no receipts etc isn't great..

Although, everything has it's price.

What I'd do is ring the company that did the work (as they should have info on what they did) if that checks out ok that's good. Who buys it could then get a paper copy form them as proof. But then again if I was the seller I would of done this.

The owner does exist (as like I say I found his user name on here)

 

coswurvs post

 

To be fair, coswurvs post could relate to anyone. It most probably was just a scammer who'd nicked the pics and spec off a for sale advert and put it on ebay for a silly buy it now price.

I've seen the original ebay advert (that the current owner bought it from) and it was legit and he'd won it for £9990 approx.

 

This is (i believe) the current owner..

I found him by putting HKS EVC in this search engine on here. Knew there wouldn't be much talk of those here.

As you can see in the thread it's him asking the very same question as this thread started out. Also you will notice the ebay advert from the previous owner.

 

i was away to say im sure ive seen that in ellon before, he used to have a turbo corsa aswell that was sold a while ago seems a genuin lad tho as my mate baught an impreza off him...unless ive got the wrong guy

 

ive bought the plate,just waiting on docs coming back

 

I think its bad that sceptics on here have stopped the sale of someones car.... Especially when there is no evidence.

At the end of the day the car looks good and IF you bought it and the engine let go all you would need to do is spend £1500 or so and it would stil be a cheap escos as it seems to have plenty nice parts on it already.

 

do the usual checks on it, get the vin number, go see your local copshop, get it checked, then take someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to cossies! and go look at it.

 

just coz it doesn't have any paper work for the work done to the car doesn't mean shit he could of done the work him self I do all the work on my car my self as I don't trust any one else but I don't bill my self and write receipt to my self its a cheap cossy even if you had to strip the engine down and rebuild it will still work out cheap

 

i've just sent the guy a message,if the cars clean enough for the money i'll buy it

looks worth the money for the spec imo
