Just a trader perhaps, they might well have picked it up off someone wanting rid and reckoned by sitting on it they'd turn over a few quid without doing anything

Dunno why you'd need to bring a Garda or be scared tbh, walk away if you don't like it and just do all the usual checks, 'tis the car you're interested in not the seller

Jimbob 83 · 29-06-2012 10:22PM

Not scared of the seller, im just nervous of any problems mechanically is all

Bear in mind i spent the week at work mentally justifying €1204 tax a year

Just do it, g'won you know you want an ST. If it come's back to bite you in the ass come back to me about it and I'll remind you of this:
