Cool!. 

[eye30]

What did you get?

[Shambles]

Wahayy

Don't like the look of those drop links though

Is the mileage right?

[Keith]

I got £4500
The passenger side lower front windscreen was cracked, the drop links were noisy and the TPMS batteries are sure to start expiring sooner rather than later.
Yes the miles are genuine Steve.

I'd offer £5500 max with a years warranty after they fixed the known faults.

[Shambles]

They've done a nice job on the black wheel inserts, I have to say

[Keith]

A guy I used to work with has been in touch after I put the story on FB
He wants to know what he should offer for it so I briefed him on the known issues so he will be well armed to barter if he pops over to view it!

[Keith]

And I forgot.... The air-con doesn't work either!

They'd have sorted that out not long after you declared it to them, no doubt

A potential buyer would not be aware of faults, save screen which you can see.

But wonder whether they will or have fixed faults.

May do screen as you see it but others....... i doubt.

[Keith]

Yup.
That's the risk a used car dealer takes buying at auction (where it went)
And the liability falls onto the seller with the buyer mindful of Caveat Emptor.
Still, an i30 Owners Club member would have the advantage of knowing all about these shortcomings to use as a barter tool or to get them fixed before handing over their money!

[eye30]

Wonder what it fetched at auction?

bet good mark up for the buying dealer

[Keith]

No eye deer but I'll be keeping an eye on the advertiser over the coming days / weeks.

Keith, good one, how many £ did it cost you new? Interested to know new car prices in UK.

[Keith]

I bought it used 1 owner Lester, £9500, with 6k miles on it and 2 years old.

It was a very good car.

[Keith]

Knew they had pitched it too high. £304 off...

Interesting thread Keith (I must have missed it before)

They've done a nice job on the black wheel inserts, I have to say

I love the alloy, too.

Standard alloys, I just removed and painted the plastic inserts which I think give a very nice look.

Still nice to hear it said though... Thankyou Alasama
