I am so tempted... But I have 4 cars already and the missus thinks our house looks like a car lot already (hence the swap offer previously).
Apart from the already mentioned issues, is there anything else I should know about.

If I knew it would be a quick fix then I would sell off one of the cars I have.

Surely worth a punt at £500. The work would only cost a couple of hundred quid, take the bulb out for the MOT and job's a good'un!

Cheers
Jonny

Hi Greenbrick,

Really just the items mentioned. The MOT history is online if you would like to look through. The exhaust is an advisory and will need replaced. You may want to repaint the bumpers
In the 9 years And 45k miles I've had the car it's had tires, brake discs, new Bosch battery, radiator and associated pipe work, 2nd hand replacement nivomats, track rod endds, power steering rack. It's been regularly serviced, I've never towed with it.
If you would like any specific pics etc just let me know.
I'm very reluctant to out it on eBay and may just repair and keep if there is little interest.

Cheers

Would you be able to hold onto it until I sell my Mazda2, as space is a premium at my house? Or like me, have you run out of space for cars that are not road legal?
