Whats going on with this chap ????

Post by scrappy1382 »

Am i seeing something wrong here ? or has this car gone up another 1k ???
somethings telling me i think the seller has grown rather attached to this car and doesnt want to sell, or he has completely lost his marbles... seller on here ? - you sir will no way sell this car at 7.5k......
how do i know , well, its quite simple. last mk2 blue storm sold that i know of was on ebay for 1.9k ish.

4k tops. and it would need the original carpet too ;-)

i'm confused as no link, but assume someone wants £7.5k for a blue mk2 storm?

it makes me sad to know that when my car is done, even with all the work, rust free and most parts being replaced i would probably only get £2.5-3k with the wind behind me. which barely covers the cost of my respray! good job i will never sell it!

ah. not terribly original really in my opinion. not for the price he's asking anyway. its not even that low mileage!

wrong vw badge on grill and most likely missing 'storm' badge, its been painted as missing its 'volkswagen' and 'storm' decals on rear. missing karmann badges on b-pillars, has those bloody door handle protectors, has a b-sting aerial. missing leather steering wheel

google the number plate...

'10 previous keepers. Last taxed in July 2012. Anglia Car Auctions, King's Lynn -

"V5, MoT Nov-16, 136,000 recorded miles, recorded keeper since 2010, recent service and timing belt, leather interior. Guide price: £1750 to £2250."

wonders of the internet system now aye chap..... always find history to motors like this. im sure this car has popped up quite a few times over the years up for sale, again with no realistic interest.
my A reg storm i believed before it got written off had the potential agreed value of £3000 to £4000 realistic £2500- only because of the fact of it not only had almost everything possible changed on it for new parts, but it was an A reg, was a press car, sold to an african women that worked for the london embassy and due for a fresh coat of paint the weekend after it was hit :-( .... i dont understand the whole idea of " its 100% original so its worth more " quote. - this statement just shows the owner was too damm lazy to replace stuff that needed doing ( rubber has a lifespan too )

Yes, this car has been appearing on that website since February, although given that it didn't sell at 6500GBP over the last 8 months, perhaps the seller figured he priced it too low...

Here is an earlier listing for the same car for 1600GBP, which was also too much for the car given its condition at the time.
