Re: Another bargain!
Is everyone on GumTree like that? The amount of tosh people sell and the descriptions they supply are unbelievable...

Pretty much. That's why I would no long entertain the notion of looking to buy a car on gumtree.Captain Jack wrote:Is everyone on GumTree like that? The amount of tosh people sell and the descriptions they supply are unbelievable...
Some of the descriptions are very creative.
MINT CONDITON = It just about runs and if you squint you can't see the dents.
NOT LIEK THE USUAL RUBISH = Because this one has a load of hidden issues.

Re: Another bargain!
I too have an issue with "th".
My pronunciation of "three" and "free" are indistinguishable.
But that doesn't give me the right to post car adverts in which the text looks like a basset hound had mashed it's head on the keyboard.

And a DTurbo for farmerpug.

Flat tyre. Probably been screwed and ragged til the HG is like a seive.
"car needs heater plugs and passenger electric window fixed"
In other words it wont start as the glow plugs have been worn, and no doubt the electrics are shot.

It looks nice. IF you could get to England and had the OPURTUNITY to look at it. Alloys look ORIGINALL.FarmerPug wrote:i want this:

However, the nearside and front aren't shown. Which in gumtree land means that it is a Cat D write off, with red doors and a missing grille.

Re: Another bargain!
it is suspicous that now, especially on a rare car, you have 9 opportunities to take a photo on gumtree, and even more to link with photobucket.
My example of this is:
2002 Pugoet 406 Executeve

Great bodywork.
You need lots of photos.
