    Silver V70R AWD manual R898VJO

    This car is for sale on eBay, but I think that there's something dodgey with it. It was originally for sale in Cambridge and I was trying to buy it on eBay, before he ended the sale due to faulty engine mountings. It was then relisted, sold and then appeared immediately for sale again in Bolton. The sale ended last week, but it's now appeared again, for sale in Bolton. Nice looking motor, but something's amiss?

    When it was originally listed in Cambridge, it had scuffs to all corners of the bumpers, tailgate vibration and the front nearside electric window wouldn't work. However, the price was right then to have those things sorted, and I was bidding on it, but he ended the sale. I then bought the T5, so I'm not looking for a car now anyway.

    Get in touch with one of the buyers on Ebay and ask why he sold it on. Hes got nothing to lose by telling ya if its already sold.

    its way too expensive at that price for parts i reckon. I reckon he paid half that as i was offered that car for £700, he reckons hes got something worth double what he probably paid! I doubt the car is duff but until its been checked out properly, hard to tell

    When it sold from the guy in Cambridge after being re-listed, I'm sure that it was just over £1,200, and it currently stands at £510. This is the car that I was looking to buy before I bought yours.

    This has jumped upto £775 now, with nearly 2 days to go. I hope that the car is OK for those bidding!

    If it was end of Jan, then we could have gone halves on it, and then argued about who has which bits! No, I wouldn't have wanted the bits you mention above, but I could have done with some of the other parts of the car.

    That breaker down in Kent has a V70R, that I've had some parts off. Do you want me to ask about the parts you want?

    So we need silver bumpers ideally, or another colour at the right price to justify a re-spray?
