Whats wrong with it? Its a very very tidy example thats had lots spent on it, It amazes me that people will pay Ł3000 for a bag of old knackers and crib when someone wants a good price for their pride and joy, its obviously worth that to him, if you think its too pricey don't bid on it.

mileage : 955

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT really pisses me off when people dont put the mileage down, and as for "Speedo isn’t working because plastic cog in gear box broke but who needs it any way" hmmmm great, so how many miles more than the speedo has it done anyway

I'm not in the "RS Turbo's are worth fuck-all" club, but do I think at Ł5000, it is a little over-the-top. Nice car, but more like Ł3500 really.

Its up for Ł5000 buy it now. Generally speaking, people dont expect to get their asking price, so im sure his reserve will be set much lower than that. Maybe its around Ł4500 or even less who knows??? And how can anyone suggest that its not worth it without going to see it???
