Also, alloy wheels count as a modification, so would up the insurance!

Alloy wheels are not always a modification - some posher cars come with them on out of the garage.

Anyway, how much are they asking for that clio?

Don't touch a Rover! They aren't made any more so parts are becoming increasingly more expensive

yeah three door and i am in love with it :rotfl:it sounds pefect ~ on paper :rolleyes: mums trying to sort something but my uncle thinks he can get down just before the auction ends... now unless the auction goes over the £950 she is asking for it (in auto trader) i am in for a chance. My uncle said he would see what its like and if its as good as it sounds he will ask her if she will accept a holding deposit untill i can collect it/look at it sunday/monday... we shall see ~ so much for not rushing into it but i think to find a second hand car with a full service history is very good and most of teh other cars i have found arnt serviced etc...

so update, phoned the owner and its not full service it has all the mot certif and repair bills but thats it :rolleyes: bit disheartening but hey ho. Mum and my uncle is going down to see it tommorow, if it doesnt go over the auto trader price on ebay she wont sell it. so she is looking for £950+ Anywyas i have left it in my uncles hands, if he thinks its fine and worth the money i will pay for it he will put a deposit down and i will collect/buy it monday ~ however if he thinks no way then it will be a no. The problem is the money isnt in my account yet but fingers crossed it will show tom/monday as they did say 48 hours... we shall see...

meet tommorow :j i am not ready at all for it! have a list as long as my arm to do and i have no motivation not to mention i have to make a card too :rolleyes: ekkk best get on with it then :rotfl:well in 10min

How odd that she'd advertise it for £950 wanting more than that. She must be pretty un-knowledgeable about selling cars then because it's pretty standard practise to ask for higher and be prepared to work down to a price.
Eg, if you wanted £800, you'd ask for £900 then haggle down

thats what i thought, but i think (mum phoned her not me so this is relayed messages) what she said was if ebay didnt reach any more than auto trader (ie £950+) she wont sell it. So she is looking for £950 but my uncle is used to it all so maybe he can get it down a bit?
