Amazingly enough after lots of back and forth conversation, I have got it for £12995. Result.👍👍👍

Well done, happy motoring

Nice one. Not sure I'd pay that much for an auto, but it'll be a sound investment I'm sure.

We need pics

I wouldn't buy anything else coz I have a nerve damaged left foot.😁
To be honest, I'm ****ed off with Dodgy sellers trying to sell Gul Volvo's. Been let down loads.
Anyways, it's arriving on transporter next week. 👍👍🥳🥳

Sorry, it should have been £12895.

Yeah, I cant believe I paid that either. Like I said earlier, I have been messed around so much with trying to buy a Gul that I went for it in the end, and hang the expanse.
Its my retirement present to myself.

As long as you are happy and it's the car that you want then that's all that matters.

Anything is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay regardless if someone else thought they could get it for 20p or whatever.

Happy driving and enjoy your retirement

Like you say, plenty of these cars advertised that may or may not actually exist, that may or may not be what they claim to be, sold by "dealers" who may or may not be actual gangsters and criminals operating out of parking lots, etc.

Thank you. The one I sold in 2007 went for just over £2000. How things have changed since.

congratulations Willi. Weren't you messed about recently on a scam? Or am I thinking of someone else? If it was you I'm glad you've now got one.

As for the price, they're not likely to get any cheaper. I recall the Ford prices creeping up. A few years back I turned down a Cossie from a mate for 14k as I was stuck on the past prices. I actually helped him buy it for 5.8k. He's just sold it for 25k. I wish I hadn't of been so stubborn so lesson learnt.
