He's very honest in the description.
What are you expecting for £900?

[dimma]

i dont want to travel all the way from northern ireland just to find its a rust bucket.is it a good useable car? would you say its a bargain or does the low price reflect the overall condition of it?

Dimma, 800 to 1000 is breaking territory. Be extra careful with ebay cars.

Here's one for you..

"It's being advertised as spares or repair as it needs a few bits doing to the bodywork and paint but to be fair it's to good to break for parts.

It needs no welding as this was done for the last mot in Jan but the driver sill needs painting as this is in primer still."

An mot repair is not usually the best!

Mat, my only worry about people buying cars in that condition is that they will loose heart with it. How many times have we seen projects scrapped?

[dimma]

i am the highest bidder but havent met the reserve and i think thats as far as im gona go.

[Wobba]

Only 30 mins to go. Tbh, if I had the spare cash right now I would buy it myself as a project and leave it indoors in a garage to work on when I got bored :)

[dimma]

i dont like paying a load cause the last 2 williams clios i bought cost me less than £500 combined.

[fab]

Well if you had of got that for 500 you'd of had a perfect trio!
Each to their own Dimma, but under a grand and your buying junk in my view.

[dimma]

ive been sent a second chance offer already. :shock:

[diathermy]

i agree about loosing heart if it is not a good one.

Mine was not too bad, but nigly problems meant it was never quite right, and am afraid my heart has turned to my new alfa.

Will be selling the williams soon hopefully when th e drive shaft is sorted.

why dont you save the extra money you would spend on traveling and buy a half decent one.. ? i think that you can buy a heap for 900 quid, but nothing is a lost cause, with the right tlc and commitment just about any car can be bought back to its former glory, however, its cheaper and less time consuming to go the extra mile and spend a little bit more. that would be my advice :) good luck

[FATBOY]

have you accepted his second chance offer?

my willy 1 was £900 with a sunroof cut into the roof and once taken to the garage the day of purchase, about £2,500 worth of repairs/replacements and so on getting it tip top.

lol.
