Changed hands in May, so just keep your eyes open with this one
If it's a trader, it's odd they didn't move it before now unless they were waiting for an NCT appointment, and if it's not a trader, ask why they are moving it on so soon

its sold already must not have been too bad

Pirelli Cinturatos on four corners is a good sign. Cool little yoke IMO!

Anyone who feels the need to validate their manliness through their car choice is in trouble already. 😛

That's a "unique" interior. It would make or break a relationship...

First thing anyone should be doing when a gang like that shows up to view anything is go straight for the water and say “look, there’s no oil in here. Feel. No oil” and then commence with the rigmarole.

We’ve started doing it, and definitely caught out a few with it..

I went to see this today. My brother had spotted the ad, shortly before you posted it.

Just to possibly save someone's time:

Car's a lot rougher than it looks in the pictures.
-Offside rear bumper has some damage, looks like it hit a pole.
-Bottom of offside rear door bent inwards and has allowed water ingress. Looks like a car had been parked beside and rubbed it with edge of front bumper, as it reversed with lock.
-steering wheel filthy and covered in a thick layer of muck.
-handbrake wrapped in black tape
-gearstick knob badly worn
-central information screen display is broken/faded
-Badly faded/corroded rear spoiler and headlights
-No service history stamps
-Front fog Lamps in very bad condition
-plastic trims on bottom of bumpers loose
-One wheel arch liner missing
-4 different budget tyre brands (v good threads)
-Engine bay in good nick

Overall, the car is rough and it's very rough for the odometer reading quoted.

I don't think it's worth the headache.

The garage itself seems good and the staff pleasant.

The reason the hand break was taped, was because the hand break trim does break off sometimes at the end. I never heard of this, until it happened me and a number of others on a civic forum! You can order the trim again from Honda and swap it over, with some time and effort. But it’s seems like a small issue with the other problems on that car.

The screen is a common issue also! It becomes dim and the writing goes crazy.

I'm curious... What gangs and what does the oil/water spiel do?

bazz26 · 15-08-2020 01:29PM

Our cultural nomads I'm guessing.

They throw a dash of oil into the coolant expansion tank on the sly while the seller is distracted.

They then proceed to claim the headgasket is on the way out so they'll give you x amount less than your asking price.

If the timing belt and wet have been done then it look goods, id give that receipt a good read, to far for me.

colm_mcm · 15-08-2020 08:43PM

It’s a Zetec.

bazz26 · 15-08-2020 08:50PM

Sport, lol. Zetec is even written on the boot lid. Seller has a load of other cars and stuff for sale too so this ain't their first rodeo at selling.

aw · 15-08-2020 09:05PM

Could be a minor thing. The car says located in Galway City, but the pictures were taken in Tuam. Approx 30km away.
Also the guy seems to be one of those "We buy any car" type fellas. Might be sound, but just be aware.

That's a new one for me - you learn something new everyday.
