Thank you, advice taken!

I put my wreck up for sale on ebay at £650, because there seem to be a few non-runners up at around that price, and I've just been offered £500 to take it tomorrow. I'm just wondering if they are genuinely fetching 6 - 700 as doer-uppers? Have you any experience with this... don't really want...

Urgent advice Could do with a bit of urgent advice if anyone's about?

Thanks maca' I've now bought a 2005 Kia Sorento 3.5 v6 auto with an LPG conversion. It's a lovely car, drives like new but was owned by a painter/decorator so the leather has splashes of white paint dotted around and the car stinks strongly of paint thinner (currently trying the ground coffee...

Lol

Oh, I also retrieved the photos he put on the gumtree ad from Google, and he had covered up the hole in the sill, which is why I didn't spot it. The log book wasn't him on it - I'm trying to get in contact with the previous owner so that I can track where he part-ex'd it etc. so I have full...

I did slide under Banshee, but to be honest it looked remarkably clean to me! There was some rust that I presumed to be surface rust because it looked (at least to my untrained eye) no worse than my car which has never even had an advisory for rust. I've just come back from the garage and I'm...

The fail sheet is listed on the previous page. The ad says private, but he has another car up now stating he took it in part ex, and he also told me again today that he took the Terrano in part ex. He didn't object when I stayed he must have known about the work needed for MOT, and he didn't...

I don't think he was a genuine trader, although he told me he'd taken the car part-ex. Here's the original ad I responded to: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://www.gumtree.com/p/nissan/2003-nissan-terrano-2.7-tdi-diesel-4x4-7-seater/1263563276

Here's the list of failures - I'd be interested to know what you guys think Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively both (8.2.2) Offside Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b) Nearside Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b) Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed...

Unfortunately I think he covered himself there, I specifically asked about what it would need for the MOT and he began with the phrase "As far as I know a couple of bushes and a drop link arm". So I'm down to caveat emptor it would seem. This is the first time in years I've bought a car from a...

Well... it seems I've been done up like a kipper :doh My mechanic just phoned me, the car's come from the MOT test with FIVE PAGES of failures :(:( It seems I've paid £695 for a decent looking piece of scrap, I can't find it in myself to try and pass on the bad luck to some other poor soul...

Thanks!

Please ignore... images won't post Might have some light on it... found an identical spec for sale, console looks like this: http://www.kingscarsales.co.uk/used-car/nissan/terrano-ii-s/2-7-tdi-4x4/for-sale-in-cinderford-gloucestershire/aetv22017605/ Whereas mine looks like this...
