Is 106k “very low” miles?

Lower than most Corollas of that vintage for sale, but hardly writing home about. I recently came across a green 01 saloon with 38k and I didn’t bother with it (although it’s rough as a bears arse compared to the above example) and it was 400 quid

But did it have a tow bar on it??? :D:D:D

It did in my eye, 1 nervous nun owner. I’d say it hardly saw 5th gear, but the poor thing was bounced from pillar to post on every outing unfortunately

€2950 for a 2001 corolla. Daithi needs to learn how to take pics of cars from the front and back too. Lazy number plate hiding.

Original windscreen? That's a selling point now? :eek::rolleyes:

How far off were you?

I was £19000 off and I was allowing for it to be crazily overpriced.



Pure gold

After the car’s initial Pre-Delivery Inspection at Mercedes-Benz in 1996, it is assumed that it was given routine maintenance to keep it in good running order, though there is unfortunately no documentation to prove this.

About

£21000

off and I thought I was over pricing the car.

Yeah, thought that was gas. Your man must be getting tips from Simon Deane in how to sex up a car ad. No service history, stain on the carpet, stone chips along the front, some degree of kerbing to all four wheels, tyres date marked over 20 years of age, car laid up for 5 years, given a wash and vac and value x10 on the calculator.

Dont forget the UK version of the classic

The vendor believes there is no reason why it would not pass an MOT first-time

Fair play to them if they get near the asking, genuinely.

Its still on 24 year old tyres but we are supposed to believe the its not still using its original oil and filters!

Anyone else read that advert in a posh accent?

@duke I was around £15000 off the price.

But I love they have turned kerbing, and original 1996 tyres into a complete positive, while also giving a life story of some bloke who is so rich he never serviced a car just bought a new car instead.

Jaysus. I was over 20k off. My favourite part is the question mark after the first paragraph stating the mileage.

You would be paying VAT because the mileage is below 6,000 km. So a bit of a nightmare end to a dreamer price.

You wouldn't because you'd surely put up the 700ish miles before vrt.

It is good to know that a purchaser, paying such a price, would not be caught for VAT as well as paying through the nose for the car.

Close the thread. After #1432 posts, we finally found the dreamer of the century. I'd imagine the 1495 views of the advert are lads sharing the joke around.

That shape just reminds me of Bertie Ahern, it has no redeeming qualities.

That is an absolute gem of a comment

And it makes perfect sense too!

Well done :P

I'm reading it as one, but then again I'm not certain.

They have an ad for a Zafira with the golf in the background
