Ebay purchase advice please

Marmiter

Thanks Gaz, will have a chat with OH later and have a look into insurance quotes as well.

Hopefully will post back soon with a purchase!

Do you have any no claims? If not £500 may not be enough to cover the insurance never mind a car as well.

If he uses it for work dont forget he needs to insure for business use also.

go older cant see any to hand, but a rover 75 or MG ZT estate in diesel, good for 200k of they have been looked after, plenty of room and a decent level of comfort.
I was quoted £112 to insure one last year fully comp (but I do have 18yrs NCB)

So it is too good to be true then lol.

I think I will stick to genuine private sellers then.

Thanks

It's not too good to be true - do you know how an eBay auction works? It's less than £500 now, but towards the end it won't be. I'd expect the final price to above £1k.

Auctions seem cheap until the last hour or so, in my experience

I'm always intrigued at the price differences of cars throughout the UK. Around here <£500 in Gumtree/AT will get you a trade-in reject or a car so unpopular it can't be moved on otherwise. Some very commendable bargains to be had there.
