    i am looking to buy one of these or something similar ( i want a van really but this would serve as both van and family car lol)
    there is nothing around locally and this is a long way to go if it is no good and i would not dream of bidding on something that i havent seen

    so is anyone on here car savvie and feel like helping a busy lady out?

    Hmm can't help there Kaz except to say.... A friend had one of those & it was great to start with but it started to have problems & it was always very expensive to fix he ended up chopping it in & getting a Vauxhall Zafira which is cheap on parts & servicing & he can't understand why he didn't get a Vauxhall to start with.. He has had no problems with it either.. ;)

    Hmm Kaz could be good but..... I don't want to pour cold water on here but...
    My friend got one 2nd hand & was pleased with it to start with & then things started to go wrong & parts & servicing were very very expensive, so she chopped it in for a bit newer vauxhall Zafira.. No problems with it & cheap & cheerful parts & servicing, she said she would stick with Vauxhalls now.. ;)

    You're welcome to stop over here if you do decide to get it. That would break the journey. Kettle's always on.

        Would it put you off if you knew that it had been fighting, yet the seller fails to declare that?

        Note the misalignment on the rear bumper, and also note that the bonnet lid either isn't shut properly or is also misaligned.

        To be honest, the asking price is too high for what it is. Its a 15 year old vehicle that's been walloped at least once, and the starting bid is set at £800.

        Given its age, the fact its been bent and the seller didn't declare it (I wonder what else they haven't declared), I think I'd offer £500 and let them haggle me up to £550 if I really wanted it.

          I have just been looking at this post (comparing UK-Portugal prices) and strangely that is the first things I noticed clueless1 ... they were SO obvious so one couldn't complain to the seller ...
