20VT LE with 86k and a decent amount of servicing done.

£3,250!!! Okay, what am I missing? Cat D? Cat C? Not a real LE? Or does the owner not know what he/she is selling?

At the end of the day, if a deal seems too good to be true, it's usually because it is....

Hmm... I'd say one of two things:

1. the owner isn't on the forum, doesn't know the value of an LE, has typed in on parker's price guide the age of his coupe, and used that as a basis

2. There's something not on that advert that affects the price, like Cat D or something like that.

Thats Skints car!

It was on 'trader and pistonheads for £4800 just a week or so ago. I thought he had a buyer. Had been up for sale for ages though.

I offered £4000 for it a while back and was turned down

Strange

Notice there is no description of the car's condition.

It's been for sale for a long time, and he probably want's shot now. I would guess it's nothing more sinister than that

Agreed - a bargain maybe? Typical, I picked my LE up 3 days ago

James

its in edinburgh. thats the catch

just seen this aswell, looks too good to be true. am after a replacement LE but this is too cheap surely!
not much description of the car on the advert, but looks alright in the photos.
strange if it was on for a lot more a few weeks ago, makes me think somethings happened in the meantime.
i might investigate further...

sold

You all had 12 months to buy it!


Too many people piss arsing around over no red key, glad its sold now, wont have loooads of stupid pm's about the red key!



Grrrrrr.

i didnt have 12 months to buy it!
not even been 12 days since my LE died....

Not refering to you mate dont worry.

i know carl

still not heard about buying back the LE yet with the insurers, but i'll let you know.

will

Too right - seen too many time-wasters/scaremongerers post on here when a decent car comes up at a decent price.

Just checked my PMs.

I offered 4K about a month ago and was told £4600 was the lowest price.

Someone got a bargain! Did you buy it Will?

James

No. I did

Bought it 2 days ago and certainly not at that price so i'm as clueless as you guys on why it was readvertised at that price. Maybe skint could shed some light.

P.S: Sorry Carlt for starting a thread on the red key.

Ha! told you it was dodgy. some scammer trying to make a buck?

Congrats to Kelv27 - looks a beauty.

James

Nothing dodgy about it really. Skint has been really helpful and the car drives beautifully. Its reassuring to know its in good hands before.

Thank you very much James. Glad to have the support of my latest acquisition. Really appreciate it. Pleased to finally be part of the community guys!

Kelvin

I had a feeling he had re advertised it to pi55 people off.

Correct
Kelv was the second person to drive the car and was the only person to have pound notes in his pocket, no hither dither he just bought it.

Oh so it was you that re-advertised! I thought it was some scammer or something, I've heard of them doing stuff like this in the past.
