Thanks for your reply! All very helpful comments and advice!!
I went to look at it the other day on a bit of a whim, blimey. It was nice, yes, but it was definitely not worth the £1900 price tag. The interior was appalling, everything so worn, burnt from cigarettes, pieces of trim missing... the list goes on. It definitely photographed better than it was irl.... Worst thing was that you couldn't even open the bonnet! It has obviously crashed into something at some point (not mentioned on the listing at all) with all the broken body work etc it damaged the latch on one side.
It ran like a £900 car, not amazing but good.
I will give you guys a link to it so you can have a look if you want, the dealer there was what actually what put me off the most to be honest. He had absolutely no interest in selling it to me, he just sat in his office. He acted like he knew a lot about them but it was definitely just salesmen bs. Would NOT shift on the price either... and when I made a bit of a proposal he was just like "Well its not for you then!"..... moving on.
Went at looked at a private sale today and very impressed, said yes to getting it in fact. Very clean car, well looked after and all of the issues you've mentioned above had been fixed! A lot less miles too, 106,000!
Now just to sort out Insurance!!!
