You have got to see it yourself of trust someone you know very well who is a fussy as you (or not) to look at it. Videos and pictures never tell the full story. I fancied me a F and F shape Supra just after the film came out. (don't worry...the urge soon passed....but they make good cash now). There was a bargain priced (that should have been a clue but I've bought good cheap cars before....like my current 159) in Bristol....a half reasonable drive from Bognor.....Got loads of pics sent. So I went to see it.......I should haver noticed that all the pics where from one side!!!....nice dent in the passenger wing, generally tatty....must have used a filter on the pics......but the interior was disgustingly dirty (the grey seats had a brown tint from the dirt) and covered in marks and scratches. I let the owners know that I was less than pleased with their description and dishonesty.....this was a mistake and they then suddenly turned very threatening (both he and she were tattooed and multi pieced!).....saying that I had agreed to by the car and that they had turned away other potential buyers....yeah right.....looking at her I'm sure she just wanted to sell it to get her next fix!
Either drive to go and see it....or find a closer one.
