Anyone know this car ?

V29 DJC ?

It's a 2004 Mk 1 180 Hatch in a dark blue.

It's located in Gwent and has 45K recorded miles.

Reason I ask is that it has no history ...... It's a cheap car ... but without any history ..... what do we think ?

Sorry mate ... didn't make it clear. I'd do an HPI, but when I mention history I meant servicing. I'm no mechanic.

If I bought it, and gave it to a mate for a good servicing ... does the fact that it had a pdi and an inspection etc 5 years ago really matter ?

A personallised reg would suggest it was cared for but I would wonder about the lack of history, did the current owner loose it whan they changed the speedo?

Where did you see it advertised?

If it's that good is it worth the 200 mile round trip to have a look?

It's on ebay and up for £2300ish. My Mrs found it because she knows how miserable I am punting around in the Scenic but the strange thing is ... and maybe it's fate .... DJC are my initials !!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=170284782997

I sent the guy an email, and he tells me that he took it in px but it's too fast. Rubbish I reckon. He also says that some of the interior plastics need attention, and that there is a switch on the armrest which operates the sound system in the boot ! I'm thinking boy racer ... and maybe not that much attention to the servicing ....

Phate is an unknown quantity at this point
The fact that its running nankang tyres would make me walk away almost instantly.
