Default Very Confusing Ebay Car

Been on Ebay scrolling through Scooby`s for sale... I came across this one.
Nothing actually wrong in or with the car I suppose, but the sellers write up is a bit confusing.

He`s selling the car with MOT till June next year, but no Tax... It has 122k on the clock.... BUT, he says this will go up as he`s using it daily.....

And the only reason he`s selling it is because he can`t get insured for it....

So, has he just admitted to the world that he`s been driving about in an untaxed, uninsured Scooby....

Isnt this the same one Tommy tried buying, the 400+bhp monster with a shed load of cash spent on it (37k, or is that just 37 quid ) as it looks very similar....!

He says its had £1000`s spent on it... But obviously no Engine tweaks as it`s only claiming 230bhp... (Which is actually quite refreshing) instead of the sellers guessing and advertising unproven 300+bhp...

Can`t quite see where the £1000`s has been spent on this Scooby though...

its your usual ebay ad for a cheap classic.
full of little lies about thousands spent but no proof as usual.
at least this one doesnt claim to be 400 bhp.
for some reason all these ads come from the same part of the country, this is the same city as my 35k 400 bhp bull**** motor

I will ask....................................

This is what I sent:

Hi,

I am a little confused by your advert. You state the reason for sale is that you cannot get insurance and yet you also say the mileage will increase as you are driving the car daily? Also, do you have a full breakdown of modifications for my own insurance purposes? Cheers


Will let you know if I get a reply

Don’t worry mate, I’m sure it’s just the post.

Why would he say all those things if they were not true?

Keep living the dream.
