Seller appears to have some highly questionable feedback.

Am I just a bit dim, but I just don’t follow…….. clicked on feedback on eBay, and looks just 1 negative??

Or is that the problem

Cheers

Not dim, Steve, but maybe less than familiar with eBay? I'm no expert, but the feedback is amongst the worst that I have seen. If it is true, I would certainly not risk it.

On the other hand, it may be vindictive and unjustified. I can't know, and that is the problem. I feel bad not giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I think that is one I would pass on

Of more concern to me would be that mileage, if it is genuine. Cars need to be driven and deteriorate if left unused for extended periods. 3 - 400 miles per year comprised of 2 miles to the shop and back twice a week can make for a lot more wear than a few long runs several times a year - say as a holiday car.

Regardless of the seller, I would want to know a lot more about the car before making a purchase decision, although I concede that it doesn't look like a bad car.

Regards, John.

Feedback does look bad but he wants cash on collection so you wouldn't be parting with your hard earned until you have seen the car.
