    Get on gumtree my friend. I took my time in looking and eventually found the right car,then when looking I made out I could take it or leave it. Don't look too keen or he has you trapped in the net if you say things like wow its in good condition or the wheels are nice e.t.c. I say hmm little scratch there, and this needs doing..I'll give you......for it,then laugh all the way home,unless it breaks down on the way home of course!
