Few lads say he’s fine 

[Stephen 21]

i would very much advise against this

local facto picks up the labour charge if it turns out faulty

a clutch box is eASILY FAKED

One for a Merc I ordered was the real deal.

Just use some common sense and check out theyre a decent company first

[Stephen 21]

Ahh right might try local factors then see what they say cheers

 I think you're right in this case.

I don't buy many/any - seems like £500 is the going rate for pukka kits.

[Stephen 21]

No just starting so not yet think the jags going to make up for it tho lol

Or I mean I’m an extremely competent buyer and only buy the best haha

[EPV 631]

How have you ended up with a car like that? That could stick around for months until the right buyer comes along! 

[Stephen 21]

Was cheap so thought why not it’s a tidy thing, happy to wait for thought buyer hopefully he’s coming in April tho haha

I didn’t mean to worry you, it’s just the type of car that appeals to one subset of buyers, old men. That said if you have the only one in your local area, in the right colour with the right spec and it’s priced right....

 

[Stephen 21]

So I need to buy all the others in the area and mine might sell haha yeah know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but will have good money on it so happy to wait, very good money if snove prices are roughly correct 

[AutoJacob 34]

Yeah tough cars them x types.. hopefully you will have better luck than I have in the past.

Some cars do stick around, even the most seasoned dealers still struggle to get rid of sticky ones.

[Stephen 21]

Ahh well only one way to learn I suppose see how it goes thanks for help

Right mileage and spec we’ve always done okay. Had a few soversigns in and out in day or so.

but only sub 70k
