I thought that but even for a Cat D thats a bit too cheap.

If it stack up its a good buy even being Cat D but wouldn't be surprised if theres more to it. Spelling of the advert makes me wonder if its a scam.

Why? Even people who aren't hot on spelling have cars for sale.

If he cant be arsed running it through a spell check when selling a 5 grand car, then I wouldn't touch it - says a lot about someone really!

Scoobynet spelling police out in force again

Now subarus are readily available (pricewise) to the ordinary man "on the street," spelling would not put me off checking the car out. Personally I'd be more concerned as to the damage that caused the vehicle to appear on the register.

Could be worth a look, don't be put of by the spelling

You've missed the point mate - he cannot be bothered to make sure his advert reads right - its a 2 second job! It just say's laziness to me! what else couldn't he be arsed to do on the car? I wouldn't touch it with yours!

No Si, I'm just saying not to have preconceived ideas about someone’s character because of their ability to spell.

I'd prefer to see someone having a crack at spelling rather than the text talk that is often used. Text talk is lazy!

Back to the advert... If we are to analyse the individual from it- It appears the person is looking for a diesel van which may suggest that he/ she is an industrial worker and perhaps even a craftsperson with spelling and computers not being a strength.

I agree although there's a shed load of peeps on here who would struggle to sell one too on that basis

TX.

PS

No harm in chancing your arm at just £4k ... be aware of scams though as it's v cheap.
