Anyone been to view this one in blackburn? opinions?

Post by ekjdm14 » Sun Mar 22, 2015 2:02 pm

Just wondering if anyone has been to see this car and what they reckoned to it and the price? I notice the MoT is said to have expired, so guess it'd fail on a few things as the garage hasn't re tested it for sale, just wondering what it failed on (rust maybe? :roll: )

Might be tempted if it's saveable lol :twisted:

Could be a great buy at that money, they may even take less as they have had it a while and i cant imagine the their phone ringing off the hook.

They may not even have put it through an MOT, may just want shot as is if it's a trade in they have been left stuck with.

Certainly look's decent in the pics.

Yep looks like it must have had test on it when it came in, but as a business it would make sense for them to stick some ticket on if they thought for a moment it'd pass since it'd be a lot easier to shift with MoT than without. :/ another one of those "sitting looking ain't bringing it closer" type of situations... Tempted but I'd be in trouble if I dragged the boss on a 120 mile round trip for it to be a rotter on a par with the estate lol.

Could be they're just scared of it because it's an XM and don't dare put it through a test in case it needs work on the hydraulics but I know if I was running a garage I'd at least try to get it tested. They haven't bothered getting back to me about how solid it is or isn't yet so can't be that desperate to sell it :(

And yes the window tag is/was £995!
