Fair enough having to take your insurance with you for a test drive, but taking your own petrol?? }{ }{

"Test drives are free, bring your own insurance and petrol!!!

hi there

45k miles, 5 owners and LPG! so you pay £1k upwards for the LPG kit and don't use it!  ???

does seem quite nice though.

45000mls could be genuine he"s probably too tight to drive it anywhere, although with 5 previous owners i doubt it.

I feel we maybe giving the seller a disservice here.
The bring "your own Petrol" maybe a tongue in cheek comment in relation to the LPG system that is already fitted.
Also it clearly states " I have service records for it from new along with all the old MOT certificates."
This would show any mileage anomaly if any.
Granted having five owners is a few too many for my liking but for a twelve year old car that isn't that bad really!
The car looks tidy enough on the pics, but i would refrain from passing comment until i saw the vehicle in the flesh.

good memory Jonny :) different seller then in the first case though so i assume it had 6 previous owners not 5...

If it isn't the same seller selling it under a different Ebay ID (the car is still in Grays, Essex), then this new owner has only had it 2 weeks. Is it a complete lemon or something ?  ???

Seem to remember the asking price a couple of weeks ago was £2200, I wonder how much the latest owner paid for it ?  :)

woj.
I can tell that you are a wary old boy  ;D or were you passing through Grays,and skidded on a bloody big oil slick just behind a green Scorpio ?  ;)
The grapevine says that there is a scruffy bloke in Stanford le Hope who knocked a barber up at 3 am and paid him £50 for an emergency haircut  :)

I've always been  ;D that's probably a deviation of some sort after years spent in a country that is like Nigerian Bank PHB, knows no impossibilities, mainly when it comes to shifting old bangers as 'nearly new,  low mileage, old lady owner for the last 10000 years etc'  :D
