Default Big Favour Needed - Heywood/Lancashire Area

Hi guys,

Was wondering if anybody could do me a huge favour. I'm looking at a car online in Heywood, Lancashire. The guy whos selling it doesnt seem to be too bothered in sending me any more pictures or even describing certain areas to me, so I was wondering could somebody go down and give the car a once over and check it for rot in the usual spots.

Its a 1996 Mk 3 Fiesta. The car looks mint in the photos except for a small patch on the front panel, its just its a long way from Dublin to find out the car is rotten.

Here's a link to the car,

If anybody can help out could they send me a message here.

Much Appreciated

Cheers Nick.

The fact that its only little money probably has them less interested in doing extra work to sell it.

Much appreciated
