I thought about it but dont see why a buyer should

They want 900...and dont know if/how much they'd budge

Apart from that. they probably dont have ins to take, so I'd need a days cover just to do it, so it'd be about 60ish all in...bugger that

well nobody gets what they want for a car anyway so..............offer £700 which they will say no so you meet in the middle at £800..................job done

have a good poke about your self,get it on a jack and look for corrosion underneath,check all around the suspension for leaks/cracked springs/check all the tires,listen for exhaust leaks etc.spend a good hour or so checking as much as you can.whats the history of it? does it look like a nail?

How olds the car, miles, history etc.

If it's a late car with decent miles, history and nice condition then its worth a punt.

A 99 I think, as for the rest, no idea, well miles are 120ish I think....he just wants a quick sale so won't bother, something dodgy/not right...going with my gut

I would just say you want to take it for an MOT and see what happens, if he won't let you then something ain't right, whatever way you look at it your gonna have to pay for the MOT if you want the car
