No way will a dealer fix faults and mot ahead of time. Let's say he spends £500 doing it then then price has to go up to £4K+.
Next potential buyer just finds other things like tyres getting worn and he has to negotiate more off.
At this end of the market they strike a deal and fix what you find. If you find too much they walk away.
If you don't like it as is with a few fixes you walk away
Different story at the high end of the market where it will be covered by 100 Pom t inspections, mot, service and warranty. There they end up fixing paint errors, etc. If you spot them.

Well I have just put a deposit down on this. This misfire was sorted, new MoT and the price dropped. Drives well and has lots of goodies Inc Xenon's.
The dealer has a couple of minor jobs to address, but all being well I shall be the proud owner of a Zed ☺
I see a few weekends of cleaning and polishing ahead. Mixed with poor excuses to drive places for no real reason.

Well done, if it pans out OK with the niggles sorted that's a lot of car for the money. EnjoyJalfrezi wrote:Well I have just put a deposit down on this. This misfire was sorted, new MoT and the price dropped. Drives well and has lots of goodies Inc Xenon's.
