Their the biggest pisstake salvage company on eBay (and that's a bold statement!!)
Every car they seem to have their never sure whether it's cat c or d,yet when it's not recorded they can't advertise it enough(clearly hpi'ing each car,keeping the bad info to themselves).
They had a Corsa c on there a few months ago 75% burnt out!!!
still wanted near enough book price for it!!!

Just around the corner from me and they always been the same , vastly overpriced. Must have been 15 times over the years and never bought a thing from them because they so exspensive.Dont know how they stayed in bussiness.

surely that would break for a bit more?
engines got for a couple of grand dont they?
then the tiddler bits

dont get me wrong i'd like to see it at Ł1500 too but they always ask as much as possible (as seen with their escos) but at 3500 if you coule bid em it would donor a mk1 escort ok and some money back

pet hates with some ebay salvage sellers, I clearly mark what CAT they are but if it isnt mentioned in the advert then it is CAT C, D or unrecorded they will be clearly displayed, the way I see it with salvage is it is what it is, I dont hide damage cut bags out and tuck the panels back in dont try to bodge things to make it look better then it is. Any of the above the customer would just walk away after viewing it, theres no point.

a salvage dealer down this way used to pull stuff so it looked straight or straighter than it was, he had a panel chap that used to spend all day on a car pulling anyway he could so it would sit straight, the doors would go in the hole,
the son now runs the business, i dont think he does salvage anymore moved over to landrovers and/or 4x4 sales

How much does the engine and running gear go for? Someone will buy it and think its cheap.
