Well - I followed up on this advert today searching on their name. Found the garage - vision motors Stafford - Vauxhall main dealer.

They took in the ignition blue 180 saloon recently. I asked them to check 3 things for me -

What interior does it have - has the rear bumper sagged with the clips showing - are the door handles OK - is there any service history showing a cambelt change.

It has blue alcantara - the bumper has sagged - both front door handles are loose with the trims coming away - and there is no service history whatsoever.

With that in mind, I asked if there was any flex on price ..... None whatsoever said the salesman - and despite me having a quick discussion, he was adamant, no flex, that's what they gave for it and so that's what they want.

http://www.visionvauxhall.co.uk/used-cars/729/mg-zs


Now I know that the bumper and handles is a common thing and fixable, but as a result - I'm out - with those issues my offer would've been about £1200 tops unseen, hence this post because if there's someone near them who fancies a look and goes round there with cash - there may just be a decent car to be had, especially if that interior is in good nick.
