Just last weekend I went to see an "excellent" 206cc (for my partner)... front wing full of filler, badly fitting bonnet, light, etc. Luckily was in my local town.
Later that day did a 50mile round trip for a "beautiful" & "one for a collector" 9-3. Maybe it was if it was a collector of keyed cars who kept fish in the boot and liked metal patchwork for floor pans!
Finally Wednesday, 150 mile round trip. 206cc "50k miles, FSH, vgc" had 62k, receipts for 2 oil changes and 1 recovery, dent, scrape or scuff on every panel!
Decided I must grill people more on the phone first in future! Grr!
