At that kind of silly money i would be thinking more along the lines of a scam rather than a genuine sale.


Surely its worth double that is it not as looks like a very easy repair.

Sounds like a bit of a scam to me

is it? whats it worth straight.... i dont know??

theres bound to be suspension and inner wing damage, more than likely a bit of chassis leg damage, panels for the st i expect are a right cunt to get at decent money, things like broken headlight clips meaning new unit can be pricey etc etc

it does seem cheap i must admit but from experiance looking at that its more damaged than meets the eye, all easily done if you can get a chunk etc

it does look a bargain but a would,nt be bidding on it with one picture

cant see if the wheels facing the correct way or if its back or anything . thats probably why it never made much plus nothing is selling just now so its about its money it should have made damaged sensibly

Listing something like that this time of year doesn't help & who wants to view a damaged car in Ireland X-mas day? Who would want to take the risk going over to view if the damage was far worse than the photo makes it out to be, i think had it been in the UK mainland it would have made double that, i had an Astra GSi sent over from Northern Ireland about 4 years ago for around Ł150.00 & delivered to West Yorkshire so that price sounds about right, if it was me i'd take a trailer & cash though!
