Ebay Syncro .......judge for yourself

Post by Paul C »

Hi,

I went to view this when it was with its previous owner in Cornwall approx 2 weeks ago - it was on for BIN 3 times at around £3K and didn't sell - I walked away without even driving it................. :roll:


Item number: 170355853981

For some reason the link I posted wont work :roll:

The least they could do is fit the correct exhaust for that inflated price. It is after all just a tarted up panel van.

The logos on the side should be changed to ISOPON :wink:
It did have a CV gaitor (NS/F) made from a bit of fertiliser sack
The back box was held together with a piece of random tin and Jubilee clips
Looks like it was sprayed by Stevie Wonder :wink:
Front seam behind bumper was solid filler - no seam
It's had a knock on the NS /R corner - loads of filler
Underneath has been sprayed with shultz (spelling) - everywhere!
I thought about making an silly offer, but no point in winding up the obviously deluded seller.....

The bash dar is fitted wrongly because of having a 2WD exhaust on it.

Why dont we all make a few offers to him - between 2k and 3k - bit of fun, then he can sell it to his imaginary friend :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I was thinking more along the lines of £500 :wink:

I particularly like this quote from the ad:

I havent got time to waste on dreamers, sorry, dont send silly offers

No, you're under-valuing it.....it started at £8000. But he has seen them for £10,000! :lol:

I'm thinking of offering £1000 & asking why he's selling it on so quickly?.....( Hope I haven't improved on the certian cash buyer who's offered a certain amount of good money!! ) :lol:

At least its quite local!!

I saw this for sale at Plymfest.

Even Mrs Nice noticed the filler lobbed in it. She is getting as bad as me!

Lashed up to sell, a quick buck to be made.

Take it off road & watch it crack to bits.
