    Don't.  We'll then get an interminable thread entitled 'What is the cheapest way to repaint a BMW that has been scratched by a hedge?', complete with answers recommending rag-rolling, brush on coach enamel and using an electric spray gun on the drive.  
    With the lack of maintenance and cheap tyres, think it will be more than scratched when it is take out for the first time and the rear end spins out.

    He might have to disguise the name of the dealer to do that - they might not want everyone knowing they are selling a damaged car in their approved used.  
    Oh i think thats the least of his problems when it comes to posting pics and videos....
    Indeed - that car existing is the first challenge. :)

    I took it as suggesting the OP will just disappear from view, until he returns under a new name with more fantasies. A much more likely outcome than a custard test!

    Indeed yes, thats what i was implying.  I suspect he'll just back out of the chat and then use another ID at some point.

    I just checked it out. It's rubbish. It's only got 2 doors and is really low and tiny in the back. You would probably have to pull rear passengers out. There's no towing weight quoted so it seems it can't even tow a caravan. Not good at all.
