Something to hide perhaps??:rolleyes: It is ridiculous btw....

Cookie_Monster

Nice big dent above the right hand headlight (as you look at it) anyway

Fey!

I wonder if it really has climate control as per the ad???

EPM

The bonnet is definitely buckled anyway - it's rising above the fron wings.

If thats the part he's taking a photo of I can only imagine the rest of this beaty:D

x in the city

Id say that's been crashed at least 10 times, during the 5th crash they stuck in a 1.6 sohc vtec engine from another crashed civic into it.

mumblin deaf ro

Maybe he's only selling the front half of the car.

Rod & Reel

Luke Crowley

This one deserves an honorable mention too:

It looks like quite a tidy truck for not-too-outlandish money, but what were they thinking with the main photo??

I know! A Man Utd strip!

Would anyone actually buy a car on eBay though, especially if the pictures make it look like the seller is hiding something? A car, even a cheap one, is not something I'd buy without seeing it and checking it out first.

L-M

Ah there are so many people out there with disgraceful pictures taken of there cars. I feel a big thread coming on :rolleyes:

TheElf

She certainly doesn't look in good shape though. I can smell the beer stains from here.

ART6

It's a creature of the night and its owner, Batman, is in the dark shadow behind it (he's had to downsize a bit since the new motor tax and VRT scales came in).

ergonomics

Some email the guy from the ebay ad and ask him does he have any photos of the right hand side of the car.

I did. Car was A1. Your not obliged to go through with the sale if it turns out to be different than described.

My cousin spent 25k ish on an Elise on Ebay too.
