--- Quote from: "borders" ---Are the rear doors jammed due to an accident???
I'd offer him £3000 if he got the doors open. Otherwise walk and find a dry one.

thats the problem on the outside its clean and has got tidy bodywork no rust on rear inner doors bulk head seams ok inner wheel arches ok inner wings ok
slam panel looks original
there is no sign of repaired accident damage
interior is good and in keeping with a vehicle of 74 thou no excessive wear to seats or carpet
its just like a car thats been stood for a while, are alpine seals cheap
i can replace them myself
seph234:
the alpine seals are usually cracked if you look at them, i just filled my cracks with black sikaflex. joe
the loon:
WALK
from what your saying he's charging top notch for something thats just not worth it.
its a buyers market. If he is so desperate then he can do better than that or its going to be stinking up his forecourt for a lot longer.
There was a 200tdi localy that was marked up at about £2500 and all the sills where rotten and the rear wings where shot to list just a couple of things
The garage have had it there for at least six months and now its at £600 and being sold as spares or repair.
some of these sales people should be publicly named and shamed.
I've seen far too many vechicles that are only fit for parts or the knackers being sold at stupid prices

sold my M plater with 215000 on the clock for £2000 private...could have fetched more, but at the time disco's with half the mileage were only 500 more...have a look on ebay plenty of bargains to be had...the way you are justifying things - sounds like you have made your mind up to buy and are waiting for someone else to agree...at £4000 you have a pick of cars -seen a local R plater for £4500...Walk unless he'll take £2500, as said before as he is a garage he has to provide a vehicle fit for use...if its been sat for a while WHY? what hidden dangers lurk..if he wont budge on the price AND you want it - tell him to give it a FULL service and change ALL the belts.. if he goes white and starts spluttering WALK..
