As said above, it isnt all THAT bad. Its more that all the reasons I went for it (and i've been waiting for the right one for a year) ended up not being true. So it will now likely be just a car for testing purpose for the next year.
Some of the "lemonitous":
"mint" interior..... Drivers seat ruined. Rear seats paint stainrd. Gear trim torn.
"never smoked in"...ash tray full. Roof lining black.
"mint" 4 tyres....one ruined as he drove here with 8psi in it. Two rears dangerous due to age/perished.
Other than two known issues , "paintwork very very good"...rear bumper bashed and cracked, front bumper similar. Laquer peel. Rear quarter painted slight different shade. Front wing rusty.
And the clincher for me... "A/C works spot on, ice cold in 2minutes"... A/C doesnt even kick in...now found a totally goosed condensor and a rather large (and very old) hole in the lower pipe.
It's guna be an experience that teaches me to trust absolutely no one. I often seem to get this. Break of trust, couple years building...ruined...repeat.
Please dont do the usual: its your own fault for not checking etc.
...Don't I know that. Very well. Yup. Should have.
Do i have only myself to blame? I'd argue that.
Heyho. Onwards n upwards.
