Default Dodgy 3 door on Ebay- beware

This 3 door has been on Ebay for ages
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-SIERRA-RS...QQcmdZViewItem

3 Lads from Plymouth came all the way to the Mids to look at it, (cossie Rich off here!), and it turned out to be a mess. The pics look great but in the flesh its a really messy paint job, the rear spoiler is hanging off and its just a nasty car.... Also, a couple of the local RSOC lads have been to look at it and said it is a mess. The guy isn't honest and thinks he has got a gold cup winner And its his mates bidding it up all the time

Just so no-one wastes their time going to look at it.

i went to see a non ford in same conditon on sunday, kind of expected the result from the price he was asking

but fuck it, always worth a look, and if the car was mint and someone else had bought it, i would have been kicking myself for not viewing it when given the chance

its the same with all cars, even the ones that are described as 100% mint/concours etc blablabla you never know till you view

RWD Cossie wil -

Was this the knacker that Ben went to have a look at (from the club)?

If so all the inner wing is rotten and holed by the header tank as well, the tailgate is rotten where the spoiler bolts to.

Needless to say ben was less than kind about it!

Matt
