Yeah agreed I had noticed. But it looks more likely to me careless owner and some very cheap nasty leather cleaner! I made the very mistake on my MK 1 TT. I should hopefully be getting some history info soon. And the guy who owned it before the last owner confirmed the mileage and history when he sold it. 34k last year???

Long time dead mate
The flip side is you could buy a straight car and end up modifying it into a cat c-d if you drive it right anyway :wink:
Agreed just need mrs monkeys blessing. And for things to check out......
Short story I don't where the fing trousers and it won't be happening. Anyone know a divorce lawyer :rofl:
Very true plus points from the conversation me and the far superior other half had wher.
Enjoy my car (well it's not that bad really)
Get the paint fixed (it will make me happier)
Start saving now and sell mine in spring.
Hopefully I will then have the cash waiting. For when a desperate m owner needs to shift there car quick!! Down side I might be zed less a while. But Mrs Monkey dose and always will make a better point than me!!
Taz she definitely where's the trousers. But I do get to where the pink too too and the sparkly fairy wings!!
One day I will grow a pair :rofl:
I must stop looking on any site that sells cars!!

monkey-, know how your feeling, that gut wrench feeling of needing a coupe !! i had it with vettes for years. i bought a cat d mx5 once, only thing was, the girl who sold it to me worked at the local salvage yard and didnt tell me the history, i actually asked too as the dood was a slightly different shade of red, she just said there was a dent so she had a s/hdoor fitted,... lying bitch ! it was well crashed.had it for five years and still the beat one i had seen, just that i wouldnt have paid that money for it had i known. your situation is different in that you know what you are bying so aslong as yr happy and the price is right go for it.But, go on yr own gut feeling and expect the worse, do not believe a word they tell you because they 100% certainly underplay the damage, giving you the old "i cant understand why they wrote that one off it,... it was only light panel damage " blah blah blah bollox lying fuckwits , most of them,.... that aside, if the car looks well repaired and drives well, yes, go for it, just remember most are put off cat d or c cars so its a buyers market, just dont there with the old "THAT BABY'S COMIN HOME WITH ME !!!! " look in your eyes,... play it cool and let them sweat. good hunting !! :driving:
