I'm betting the reserve is £1500 and that it wont sell!

final bids around the £1200 mark :)

I just emailed the seller , he told me that the reserve is under £1000 and he would accept £800 for it . Sounds a real bargain for someone .

Looks like a nice one, mileage not too high and body condition looks good - estates are SO useful !

Your not wrong mike.I,ve had to put mine into regular service since my transit handed in it,s notice.It is always packed with gardeners kit & pulling a 7x5 trailer on a daily basis.Does seem a shame though to use it as a van.Needless to say it,s kept very clean,but as the saying goes "needs must" etc etc ;)

Looks nice.....I'd be tempted myself (for the wife) if it wasn't so far away.

It doesn't seem to have traction control (no switch on centre consol) which is strange for an Ultima, but it does have dipping headlamp control, which is rare on a P reg :)

Final price ?......Hmm.......Judging by the good condition & low mileage for year (but the air-con doesn't work) then I'm gonna guess at £975 ish ;)

One thing that does worry me though is the fact that the seller states that they paid £2000 for it last week & that someone is going to get a bargain ???....also the bit about the police getting involved if the winning bidder decides not to pay up worries me also ???....

....there's no piccies of the engine & the sellers feedback is low, which casts an air of suspicion in my head, that all may not be what it seems :-/

Or maybe I'm just being paranoid ::)

I think your being a little paranoid to be honest LOL . Im looking at this myself as seems like a good one , low mileage and nice body and have been asking the seller a few questions . One question I did ask is why is he selling it with a low reserve , seller told me he paid £1400 for it not long ago , but then a Volvo estate was offered to him which he like better . Sounds ok to me ,maybe you are just paranoid Jonnycab LOL .

Yea, maybe your right, I'm just being a paranoid old grump ;D

Good luck in winning it & hopefully you won't become a full member too quickly ;)
