Strange or just cheap?

[paulwoodford]

Hi guys

Does this look dodgy? Something about the description and those wheels tells me it's iffy, but might just be cheap because it's been taken as a part ex and the guy has no interest in it:

We bought our Vee for £7,700. It's got a very dark history and it's not perfect by far. We have sorted many little bits out and she'll get better with age, oh and ours has 57k on the clock too! Don't run a mile mate just be cautious, they aren't all sheds at that price! Looks as though it needs a good home!

PS, If you plan to take a look, it'll be worth its weight in gold if you took someone with you who's Vee current!

Watch Out

if you look at the picture carefully you will see that its got a dark blue door fitted with a matt coloured door skin ( new) also the sill section is damaged and does not line up with the door bottom (inner sill damage !) also mirror does not have the painted cover, so it was a bit more damaged than the picture shows with out a good look.

I should know

The rear bumper doesn't meet properly either in the rear view.

Cheers guys

I bought my first V6 from Masters of Beckenham for 19k- it was written off 2 weeks later in lewisham by a drunk driver luckily the police were 2 cars behind-
I bought this V6 out of the insurance payout- I got £18850 & paid 17k for it- private sale

I had a bump in it locally & it was repaired -

I sold it on to a son & his dad- as seen in the condition above- ( MINT- long before the days of 'detailing') I remember the day because they turned up in an MR2 done up like a Ferrari-
he added some weird exhaust ( Side excit angles & a few other mods)

hope this helps-
Steve

Steve, brilliant info :bow: I knew it wasn't at CAT D or else it wouldn't have been repaired 18 months ago by a 3rd parties’ insurance company (nearly 6k!!!)

I can't view the photos at the moment as ours works computer won't allow me!

Thanks again [smilie=thanks.gif]

PS, Those angled exhausts were truly awful! She's in good hands now and KW Coilovers have been ordered

No worries & no problems woody-

As for that one listed above- look at the front suspension- miles to high

Acid V6 is spot on.

When the time comes and it will come, I'll be looking to buy a 255 from him.
