The clock is ticking! Bit of a way to come down if not right.

a reckon that looks fine but under the bonnet is essential mate,hope it a good one

Got to agree with Andy, looks fine to me. I wouldn't mind if a car had been driven 'well' as long as there is evidence that they do care, service and check fluids etc enough. Pictures hide a thousand sins is the only problem.
Get your pics of the interior and engine, if they look fine ask what imperfections there are that you would notice and point out to him that it is likely you will buy it if he is fully honest. If he isn't fully honest you will quite happily walk away regardless of distance travelled.
If someone is prepared to spend decent money on a belt change I can't see the car having neglected that much tbh:)

Well it didn't sell at £1550. Could offer him that amount but seems pretty fixed on what he wants which is fair enough.

Really poor finish time, he should have finished the auction in the evening, it could have made a few more £££

Think the only bid may have been his. The last time he listed it it made less than £1200

I think ebay is good for a quick sale, but not so much for getting a decent price.

Sub £1200 would be a proper bargain.

He wants £1600

Offer him £1575 cash, folding money, car is out of his life.
