Worst presented Mk2 180 advert ever .. ?
 
What a shame .... £10 with the eastern Europeans would have made all the difference. Bargain hunters get your money out though ...

Yea I saw that yesterday, no effort put in at all.

Firefrost, alcantara, black oak facia inserts - a few hours of elbow grease and that will make a really nice car for someone.
Only thing it's got going against it is it's a saloon! (Sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity to claw one back) ;)

Looks a bit grubby and un-loved to me.

Could of at least cleaned it, stuck some new car mats in and hoovered in the interior, would of made all the difference.

Think a few further questions need answered too but doubt they will know (ie. belts)

Personally I would start off with a bid of £500 explaining that the main dealers charge £950 (thats what Seaward MGRover want to charge me) for just the cambelt change and you would have to get that done first as you don't know the history.

Of course if you do or do not get the belts done is up to you... just tell the seller that :)

Oh and you could ask what the reserve is, give you an idea what he is expecting?

Also.. .if there are "very minor dinks in the roof" why are there no pictures of the roof to show how "Minor" they are?

Dan1971 06-12-12 09:10 AM

I wouldn't worry about dents on the roof .... He says they are small - you'd best check as his small and yours will vary. Dent guy will pull them for £50.

If you can get that for £850 - £1000 a "Steve's clean" would get it looking A1. Then you're looking at a full service. So £1200 ish and your there. Everything else - belts, clutch, plenum, vis motors are just things that play up/need addressing on every 180 ....

It's a nice colour, got alcantara, so go have a butchers ....

Would you buy the car but not do the belts? Doesn't this risk complete engine failure?

It's a risk but you may be lucky!
