I will be loling all the way to work if this garage gets the asking. Paintwork doesn't look in great nick though. I'd say the previous owner never cleaned it once in his life...:rolleyes: some people eh?

Also to anyone who is online, I'll be buying the insurance for the 156 soon. Whats the difference between TPFT and comprehensive insurance with Aviva or just in general does anyone know?

TPFT doesn't cover you're car in the event of an accident. Comprehensive also has windscreen cover (not with comprehensive value policy afaik) and third party on other cars. TBH, you're better off with comprehensive if you can afford it. Also, I don't know your circumstances, but if you've passed your test in the last 5 years, do the ignition assesment. It's a piece of pi*s and gives you a nice discount.

It will be very funny if it will sale from dealer for more. Knowing that dealer did deck al to it, just took keys and slapped a price tag on it. Some people just want the dealer mark on it and pay extra for same car, that was in private sale.

The thing is, no one will really know how much it does sell for! A guy who was in touch with me a few weeks back has the money together now and said that he's going to have a look at it.

They made quite a few mistakes when putting up the ad. The pictures don't look great either to be honest.

Noticed that with the pics alright.

Right, octavias won't be the same for me anymore. I think I got scared for life.
I was filling in petrol when I sow octavia drive pass. It's was a female blond version of Jabba driving it. I lost count of layers of it. The cabin looked tiny with that thing in it.
Now I am a fat bastard myself, but holy ****!!! I never knew they made them so big!!!!

Pretty much yeah. They just have to check my references, and make sure I don't have a criminal record.
