Just another one of ebays fines adverts that will get an unknown parting with there hard earned. I've sold a couple of STI standard models plus half decent bhp models in the past and struggled due to people like this. Who wants a 276bhp car when you can have a 350bhp one because it has a dump valve and exhaust for the same money, if not more!

Lots of mention of Blueprint, does this mean it has blueprint parts from the local motor factors? Lol what a nugget & cars a pup. I dont feel sympathy for the unknowns you mention, people say it to me a lot, " il probably end up buying something rubbish and need your help" be it cars, computers, TV's, HiFi etc. To be honest its mostly women. Amazing attitude that I dont understand, how you can hand over £100-£500 for something and know **** all about it new or not, but handing over thousands....... Why not pop down the bookies and stick it all on a name you like because in effect thats what they are doing.

Lol, check me out, big ol ranty pants! But there are some nuggets of the highest order out there.

HE LOVES CAPITALS AND ABSOLUTELY NO PUNCTUATION WHATSOEVER.
No paper work of the build, that puts me off straight away. Not bad looking though, if that sort of thing floats your boat.

I was put off by the fact the wrap would exaggerate all of the car park dings and worked out that I would need to sort out the existing paintwork anyway. There's no point in matt otherwise so I have an idea for a subtle flip

Wouldn't you normally put the model and registration mark or at least the age of the car you are trying to sell.

I should say:

WULDENT U NORMALY PUT THE MODUL AND REGISTRATION MARK OR AT LEAST THE AGE OFF THE CAR U R TRYING 2 SELL.

Barge pole / 40ft etc...
