V88 mfs owner on here??

... the buyer bought it on the phone without even looking at it apparently.

Like I did with 'Olive'. At 3.5k pounds, I thought I couldn't go wrong. Cash transfer within 5 minutes of the posting on the Internet!
She's got a huge mileage under the belt, but looks and drives like new. 1k on 4 shocks + springs, A/C pump and alternator and nothing more needs doing.

I bought her to tinker on in my retirement, but I just have to drive her instead for a hobby

So, I NEVER regretted it, but in the general sense its not perhaps a wise tactic!
