Title: ebay? advice? anyone? can you golf pro's check this car out 4 me?
Post by: golflover on 31 March 2007, 20:52: i wanna bid for this car at the last minute.

can you tell me if this looks worth bidding for? it looks fantastic, not to over kitted but not under kitted.

how much do you think it will go for? anything inperticular to look out for?

To be completely honest, it's a 5 door, so i'd always be wishing it only had 3! Plus scratches dents and a bit smokey? and those wheels suck.
I'd walk away if it goes above Ã‚£350.

Post by: tom26 on 02 April 2007, 15:27: i didn't mean to sound harsh, its just that there are so many nice wheel options out there, and fitting a cheap 5 spoke is a good way to knock some serious value off of the car.

Post by: BobbyT on 03 April 2007, 20:48: na dont do it mate, you can get alot nicer example for 600 quid maybe a nice 3 door! i think you would end up spending alot of cash on it! but thats my advice, its up to you dude! :smiley:

Post by: vixteris on 03 April 2007, 21:58: i agree. with no tax or test i wouldnt waste looking at its pics again.. ur easily gonna
bounce thru ur budget getting it on the road anyway.
