Look at the way they positive wires to the battery terminal are connected with one of those plastic connector strips. I imagine the claims of 180bhp are overly optimistic too. Probably just as well with the bogey looking Uniroyal ditchfinder tyres. That lad needs to be sectioned if he thinks it worth anywhere near 9,000. Not even an NCT on it.

Take an silvia/skyline/supra/evo for example you'd be hard pressed find anyone that will let you drive it without proving you can buy it. You're not misunderstanding it just misjudging how common it is. Happens with bikes all the time.

Who is actually faking an interest in buying a car, arranging a meet up and traveling half the country to get their kicks test driving a ****ing bog standard 200bhp DC5. Nobody, that's who.

No negotiation on price is a dick thing to write in the ad but i think he's in the right ballpark. If you bought it for 3500 or that kind of area and threw the mats in the bin you'd be delighted with it.
