This was snapped up immediately. £450 with full service history. I enquired about it, but having three useable 850 diesels already, I couldn't justify it. Bargains are sometimes out there.

I use two forums regularly, this one and Autosh*te. There's an 'i' missing there.

I posted it on that forum as well in the Ebay thread. One of the lads on there has bought it, and he's collecting it today.
It's got bills amounting to £10k since 2002.

Seems like an extremely well looked after 850.

Why is it being resold so quickly? Not sure I buy the whole "selling for something else" after a few days.

If you knew the seller you would. He has a phenomenal turnover of cars, selling a car after a week or two is entirely in character for him.

The link doesn’t work for me. How much is it. I presume it’s being sold for a profit!

It's because the url contains a slightly rude word, try this http://tinyurl.com/y3b4r9de

He won't be making a profit on it. He buys a car then either doesn't gel with it or sees something else he wants, then sells it- often at a loss. On the occasions where the car has developed a fault he has declared it and taken the hit.

If you look at his thread you'll see how many cars he goes through. http://tinyurl.com/y5meuk2k

While we're on the subject of decent bricks for sale, couldn't someone try to save this?

I remapped this one nearly 2 years ago and it was a very nice car then, if someone is willing to put in the time it could be a bargain.
