Default shonky 3 door beware

my mate went to look at a white 3door the other day, the bloke reckoned it was a low milage mint car on the ad

when he got there , the car had been badly painted, it had once been red
the milage got higher on the mots the further back you went

the vin number had no stars at either end on the floor

can't remember the reg but it was something like D*** UGF

buyers beware!!!!!

plus he wanted top dollar for it

If it's as bad as you say and someone pays top money without checking the car properly then in a way they deserve to get ripped off.
I mean from what you say, you would have to be blind to buy it.
