Price seems reasonable, a bit too reasonable for the mileage.

My Alfa may be written off and I cant find a similarily specced Alfa to my own in NI, so who knows.

I noticed the bonnet too which is odd, the pictures are crap though so its hard to say what the craic is without actually going to see it.

Humble money for a low mileage UK car MY00........but would have my concerns....

Bonnet not closed right
Not washed so poor prep even for selling
UK Turbo 2000 in header and WRX in the actual text box....WRX would be an import
EIG reg would possibly signify a re register

MIGHT be worth taking a view on it....with an experienced scooby mechanic to keep things honest

Cheers Scott, I actually didn't notice the whole WRX bit, so well spotted!

Still in limbo if my cars being repaired or scrapped, it would actually be a shame to scrap it as the damage is so very minor but I wont be doing any serious looking until i know for certain.

Might be worth a look if you dont have to travel too far, but as others have said would you try and sell a car without even washing it?

If he cant be bothered to wash it, whats the chance of him doing simple thinks like warming the car up before putting the engine under load and allowing it to cool down before turning it off at the end of a drive?

Not trying to teach you how to suck eggs but a bit of time spent on the phone asking lots of questions might save you a bit of petrol.

Perhaps he could even give it a wash before you get there?
