The guys selling it seemed fairly honest and decent when I met them. I don't normally get that feeling from car sellers. They have a yard of maybe 20 cars, all selling through on ebay. As a gesture of good faith, they allow the winning bidder to inspect the car and pull out of the deal if they change their mind.

Maybe some buyers have unrealistic expectations for a 16 year old car at an auction. It is not as tidy as you would expect to find on a dealer's forecourt. That is why it is being auctioned after all. It needs a little love and attention spent on it. By which I mean money.

I don't think there is anything about it that an enthusiast couldn't put right. I'd buy it myself if I had the space to park it and some spare "love and attention".
