Anyone near Skibbereen to check a car / or even opinion on ad

Hi folks, I'm interested in a 2007 E200 auto in Skibbereen, but I'm in Dublin… Wondering if by any chance there are any members near Skibbereen who could give it a quick once-over for me? Please PM if you would be willing to help out a fellow petrolhead!

Asked in the Motors Chat thread but no reply. 😀

Seems to be a few in Dublin and the surrounds for sale. Is the Skibbereen one an absolute bargain?

The engine warning light is on in it.

Looks genuine, timing chain done, reasonable-ish asking price.

I just would like someone local to give it a quick inspection / listen determine whether all seems good instead of me spending a day on public transport just to find its not aas it seems. Been there a couple of times...

I did the same favour years ago for a country boardsie on a car here in Dublin. Coincidentally, it was also an E200, and it turned out to be a dog, so trip saved for him.

Jebus, didn't spot that! Thanks!

At least you know the engine light is working!

Current owner has it over 8 years but the lack of information of what is triggering the engine light would kill my interest in it because of how far away it is.
