I would never buy a car from someone who writes like this :nono: :

Yea that's the one

Yeah his spelling isn't great but that's the way things are going these data with this sort of thing. Seems to have a lot if history, can't see what the steering wheel is like though I.e thumb grips. Looks like its missing the splitter and bumper stickers, which you could argue its possibly had a crash/resort at some point.

 

[Darylcooper]

And why wouldn't u buy one cause of how he types?

His gramma doesn't reflect onto his car/driving style?

 

[Don]

Cambelt is every 5 years or 72K (whichever comes first) and Aux belt is 3 years or 36K (again, whichever comes first)

That car...do not like, sorry.

For £2K (other than Cup...similar colour, but all the toys) http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?622754-182-FF-blue-95k-%A32000

Personally it puts me off though, as a well worded (and spelt) advert can show something, plus spell check isn't that far away...so why people don't write their ad up in Word or something, perform spell check (maybe even grammar check) and then correct errors...then post it up.

 

[Tombola]

I would say buy one off the forum, however make sure you check all previous posts relating to the car/owner.

 

[Darylcooper]

Is there any reasons why u wouldn't buy that one then..? Apart from bad gramma and not a forum member? As I like the car I just want to know if 1700 is to much for what it is or if it's an ok deal ?

 

[Tombola]

Pictures are too dark/grainy to really see the condition of the car and as I said there are a few points which you'd have to look at in the flesh. Never say never until you've seen it and actually driven it yourself.Just remember there is no rush as there are loads for sale and some with better mileage and spec than this one.

Reading your grammar I think the car will be a perfect match for you. , Only messing mate, As long as the car is sound I wouldn't be too put off.

As suggested search reg on here and google. You never know what you might find.

 

[Revels]

Who did the belts?

I probably would have completely ignored his advert TBH.

 

[GiT]

Poor advert - ignore.

 

[Jonff]

Another thing, states the car has H&R coilovers, looking at the picture of the rear wheel you can see a black shock behind the wheel, aren't H&R shocks yellow? Unless it's not an up to date picture.

 

[Gaz_]

Correct

 

[Jay.S]

car is mint for its age and cums

:S no thanks

 

[Emma.]

Go and see it if it's local.

Doesnt look to me like it's on coilovers. Looks pretty standard. Awful coloured wheels and butchered bumper for the exhaust, but easily fixed.

Rubbish advert, pictures taken in the dark, bad spelling would put me off a little, but I'd still view the car and see what it's like.

When i was looking for a 182 i used a text checker on my phone to check history etc , it costs £1.50 per text but well worth it , saved me buying a couple of 182's that had dodgy miles on the clock , one had a smash that the owner did not reveal in the ad , so well worth it.

anyway just text 2pass (reg no) to 83600

your welcome

Poor advert - ignore.

+1

Advert tells you a lot about a person, and sorry to stereotype but I don't buy cars off people like that!
