Black 2.5 Exclusive

Surprised no ones mentioned this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250910955735? ... 851wt_1185

Blown head gasket, starship mileage, no tax or test but still seems to be fetching a good price. £455 and 20 hours to go.

See that the bidding has now collapsed following a bid retraction.
Now back to 99p.
I doubt that it is worth saving.

Back up to just over £100 with 11 hrs to go.
Agree with Robert about potential spares value but not for me.
The added collection costs and the present lack of space to process kill my interest.
Being black good chance someone will try to save it anyway despite the starshipmiles.

To spend (as claimed) £7,500 on spares and repairs when the vehicle had covered more than 300,000 miles beggars belief.

i think i saw (not physically) that car before.

as i understand it was very well maintained, with a full service history that went above and beyond normal maintenance.

i'm not sure why the head is blown, so it seems that the guy that bought it fecked it up or did not recommission it properly ... either way shame to happen to a nice car that was cared for.
