    No he's not, if he tells you it has a fault and you choose to drive it then anything that happens if your fault.

    Would he not need to sell it for parts and not as a working car?

    No, why? If a car has bald tyres its dangerous to drive, but certainly doesn't need to be sold for parts.

    If the car has a major fault then you can collect it with a trailer if driving it as issue.

    You're right. I was looking at as if the seller was saying it sometimes cuts out (when starting). I was thinking that if it cuts out at high speeds that it would be a dangerous fault but I suppose he has told the buyer that it cuts out in general.

    Confused and new here so forgive me if i'm out of line, but is this not a thread for bangers / wrecked cars? this one looks decent now in fairness!...In my opinion, if it's going to be a decent enough car as a post, at least it should have something wrong with it.................
    like this 5 Series.....

    He even used the same search words! Can't turn on a fella for trying to make a few bob, but blatantly lying is just wrong.

    That ad does say "In good condition throughout,good driver,gearbox needing replacement but driving ok,can replace gearbox if required and nct aswell at a small cost."

    Perhaps he got the gearbox and swapped it himself?

    in less than a day? Maybe so! Why would he only add on 500 euro after fitting a new box? Surely to make money he'd put a new box and NCT it.

    Seeing as a Multipla is a widened Bravo, my record for a clutch job by myself is 3 hours... Fairly straight foreward, rear gearbox mount is a pita if caked in muck but it is doable :) plus those boxes, the C513.513 iirc, are fairly similar to a 1.2 box (as the 1.4 used either this box or the newer one) so plentiful supply of gearboxes :)

    But not worth cracking an extra €400 on!!!

    My first time posting from phone

    http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3402259

    Was looking at it few minutes ago. It's an Aero, no rattle or leaks. Harman Kardon sound, heated and ventilated seats etc. must be the best equipped on the market at the moment. He was taking 650€ for it but I walked away. Could be a good buy for somebody

    I went to see a car. A nice 2001 Avensis with full service history. The advert was poorly written and he got the year wrong. The lad who was selling it said he bought it of his auntie but couldn't get insured and had been caught driving it so had to sell it. He sounded like the sort of person in the ad above but his story made sense so I had a look.
    I went round to see it and he had put a screw through the glovebox handle because it err, fell off and their was a pair of tights wrapped round the air filter because it "rattled a bit".

    You can tell a lot about the car by the advert.

    In that case it just looks like english isn't the sellers first language. Not a reason not to buy it.

    It was a quite tired. Needed new set of tyres, one headlight is fogged up from inside. Climate display needs replacement, famous hot air trough rear air vents, paintwork is quite shabby but most importantly I nearly pressed the accelerator to the floor and it wasn't near as quick as I would Expect Aero to be. I have owned 9-5 Griffin with only 200bhp and it was quicker. It was slower than E39 523i. So I think it will need new turbo. No smoke or rattling however.
    Oh there was no jack or wheel brace either and it will need good wallet.

    Yes. I guess you could say so.
    No history either.
    Funny about the wallet :)

    You're probably on the ball there. 2.3 with not much help from the turbo will be slow.
