    What do you think about this car? Seems like a bit of a bargain. OMSP is over 18,000. All in I reckon it would cost be about 12,500 to bring it in after VRT, flight, ferry etc.

    Looks cheap alright. 125000 miles for a 05 is obviously high, probably a lidl regional managers car or something like that. Motorway miles as they say. Personally I couldnt buy a car that young with so many miles but thats just me. Lots will probably say its a VW diesel and it'll do 300000 if you look after it.

    Very nice motor.

    Minor thing that would put me off is the mobile phone aerial on the left rear passenger side window.

    Theres a different tyre pattern on one out of the 4 tyres. should have matching tyres on the same axel. Cant tell if its front or back axel though.

    Carzone and CBG could do with adopting the level of detail on that site..

    Agreed, that is the best 2nd hand car site I have seen, the level of detail on nearly all the cars is excellent

    Surely those two have little or no control over the quality of photos or descriptions submitted for the cars advertised.

    If Joe Punter put the same effort in, he might find his car sells a lot quicker on Carzone than with the 1 megapixel camera phone photo he took at 10pm of the front wing because he couldn't be assed moving the car out of his driveway.

    by the looks of the specifications tab on the page I quoted, Autoquake give you a lot more options when selling a car. If the boxes are there I'd say people will tick them :)

    Totally agree, I put a Seat Ibiza up on carzone a while back, took loads of photos with a nice background and had the car sold within 2 weeks. And it was priced higher than similiar cars
