So it's not a no to this car yet, but were off to see the other one now. 500 miles being clocked up today for these bloody cars - I REALLY hope they're worth it!!!

Secondly the front tyres are not soon to be replaced.
Thirdly the brake pipes do not need attention,i merely stated that the ONLY advisory on the MOT in November was one brake pipe showing " slight corrosion".

This "potential buyer" remarked only on the few sratches on the car ,didn't look under the car ,didn't look at the excellent service history or anything really relevant in buying a good example of a car! His only inane concern was how shiny and scratch free he expected it to be for an 8 year old car with 56k miles on the clock.

Think this is a classic example of a buyer's view vs. a seller's view. Both descriptions state the same with different wording
