"mint" and "very good condition" ...is it just me?!

[Paul_13]

I bought a hdi Estate '02 with the buy it now button when I was pissed up.

Pretty good condition, small dent in the rear quarter. "Please bare in mind the is an old car and not perfect "

Looked reasonable in the advert, at first glance looked ok apart from a dent in the rear quarter described in the advert.
Started up fine, it did crank over a couple turns longer than usual. Didn't think anything of it.

Agreed to have it then started discovering all the problems

-fuel filter was black and completely blocked
-air filter looked like it hand a sand Castle in it
-wouldn't acellerate
-shit loads of black smoke out the back
-wipers wouldn't work properly
-tracking a mile out
-p bushes completely falling apart and front bushes shagged
-faulty fpr
-tps wiring broken internally
-head rebuild kit found in the glove box!
-diagnostic light removed
-rear 3rd brake light didn't work snapped wire between tailgate and chassis
-rear speaker didn't work
-a whole fields worth of soil/twigs/shit in the scuttle panel

BUT the aircon worked so none of that mattered!

Took me ages to fix nearly all of it then I got crashed into by some idiot on the wrong side of the road driving at me
