3 months tax
Service stamps up to 55k
some invoices
body condition not 100% , some scratches and paint bubbling around the car.
scuffed dynamique wheels

[DrR]

Nice, where did you bring it?

 

[SBV116]

Nice, where did you bring it?

in before me! lol

 

[MikeoftheQuays]

What is it with this forum and people using "brought" instead of "bought"?! I've never seen it before coming on here. Sheltered existence perhaps...

Anyway, sounds like an okay deal OP. Assuming the service light is not symptomatic of something catastrophic.

Does it matter we know what he means......

 

[Alex5]

if its any help,my brother in laws just sold a clio same as this but in blue,bit less mileage with only a few months t&t for 1200 on the bay so you should be looking at similar money..one tip though,get that light turned off..its an instant turn off to a potential buyer.

Bought it from an auction? sounds like one we had in at SJ Motors, ecu has a intermittent fault, would be sat there and the ecu would suddenly switch from closed loop to open loop, and go from 0.1% co through to 14% lol.

Beaten to it by everyone else.

I can't believe it's so common! lol.

At least someone noticed

At least someone noticed

I think you're using it as a cover up

In all seriousness though - Brought / Bought is common on a few forums, very bizzarre though. Maybe there should be a sticky on it; with definitions? Hehe!


bought
— verb
The past tense and past participle of buy
— adjective
purchased from a shop; not homemade

brought
— verb
The past tense and past participle of bring

I will use the wrong spelling from now on just to get a reaction :-D
