Hi guys,

I went to buy an anniversary model a few months ago and you guys managed to show it had a whack in the past.

I have just won this on eBay and although it's not an anni I really like it. So unless there's something drastic I have to fulfil my agreement.

What are your thoughts

Before buying a car on ebay, i would personally go down and check it out but sometimes that aint possible. But when you do go down, check everything. Such as do doors, bonnet & boot line up? What i have learnt in past is run you finger down the space and if there is any difference then check that area properly. Dont just kick the tyres and what not check it properly. Check to see different shades of colour. Check under car such as sills. I know it may not cost much to someone but i rather check everything before parting with my hard earned cash. Thats just me

other than that i hope its in good condition.

p.s dont just judge by pics.

Thanks sharki, I do have that mentality like you, but I know you guys have such a wealth of knowledge and thought I'd throw it out there. I'm super excited
