The seller has been mentioned before on the local f/book page. People posted about their experiences when trying to get money back, when they've had big problems with the cars he's sold them.
Just goes to show that even the most savvy buyer can get stung. Hoovie was fooled by the seller of this rare Plymouth Superbird which he paid $130,000 for.

And you think the Cooper S is a gas guzzler :laugh:

Ah, orange my favourite 1970's car colour. I had an Austin Maxi and a Triumph Dolomite (not at the same time) in the late 70's. Both were in boring Harvest Gold if I remember rightly. I had both resprayed in fluorescent orange in a car body shop I was working in at the time. As far as I know they were the only 'high viz' orange Maxi and Dolomite on the road.:okay:

Edit...Just remembered, the Dolomite was a kind of English mustard colour.

Car prices appear to have increased exponentially in the last few years not sure it's anything to do with Covid & more to do with clever marketing.

I bought our main car 7 years ago when it was 7 years old for under £7K. To get the same comparable car today will cost over £14K, this is not normal inflation. My wages certainly haven't doubled in 7 years

My 11 year old Suzuki attracted an initial quote of £3500 on We Buy Any Car a few months ago, I paid £4500 for it 5 years ago, I was expecting it to be nearer a £1000

I saw a 63 plate Micra for £6k yesterday :ohmy:. A Mini, slightly older was £3k.

Must say we got the Aygo for a bargain of £2k in November. They are £3k-£4k now ! Madness.
