Isn't this supposed to be for trade to trade sales - so no warranty, consumer rights, etc.?
 
It'll be interesting to see what it goes for. :thumbsup:

Although it's a late model it has done some miles, but could still be a good buy for someone.
 
Keeping a very steady eye on it lets say that

I doubt I’ll get him to bid though despite it being pretty much the perfect car I covet….

The missus will hurt me if I buy another car

Bit harsh on the cats :lol:

I should also probably have quantified that statements like that are probably partially to explain why I have an ex Mrs :rofl:
 
There are two ex Mrs Bigwinns out there so that tells a story too

Make me an offer for the cats you’ll soon want a refund

Useless animals
 
just talking to my man now-

I'm 50% chucking a bid on for £13,500 and 50% waiting to see if it doesnt hit reserve and calling the dealer direct to see if a deal can be had

the list of stuff on it to buyer beware is putting me off

No MOT
needs wheel bearing (s)
suspension knock from front
noise on dipping clutch

BUT

Good service history and last owner since 2010
 
Apart from a bit of kudos, and the ability to say you had one, what real world advantage will you get over the one you have now?

You have to wonder, with such a 'special' car, why it went to a clearance auction in the first place?
 
Probably because you could sink 5+k into it super easily and it would make sense to buy a 18-20k car with better milage and a record of full maintenance.

Bearings, Water pump, disks and pads all round, tyres, engine and gearbox mounts, it will need new suspension all round at that milage. Sounds like a clutch and flywheel... Will it need an inspection? etc

Those are just top level things that's not including paint condition and other gremlins...

A decent coupe is like 20-22k at what half the milage 60-65k so really will all the above you would be about the same with 120k+ miles.

Ive had mine 2 years and spent 5k on it so far and it was a good condition 63k miler...
 
It stuck at 12,500 and never made reserve

Head overruled heart thankfully with good counsel from Martin @enuff-zedd

Appreciate the view Tom I think I knew that but needed it confirming

So tell the missus you just saved £12500. Then buy another doer-upper for 2 or 3 grand and she'll think you're still in profit. :poke:
You know it makes sense Rodney :thumbsup:
