All I simply asked him was about the history of the car regarding the important jobs, as he hadn't mentioned anything in the ad & I also reminded him that the belts were scheduled to be done & I would have to factor this in my purchase price.
the questions were not 'sharp' as such
But he failed to even attempt to answer any questions, just came out with the above.
If I sell my current car for around my desired price, I will have a budget of £2500 - which is more than reasonable for a well maintained sorted 20VT in the current coupe market.
TBH I don't want to look on eBay/PH/ATrader etc, I want to buy one from a Forum member on here
who has maintained it correctly.
But there isn't alot coming up on here lately - apart from heavily modified - which I'm not interested in.
Patch234's looks simply ideal
but sadly I do not like the colour
Those that are coming up I am pursuing in the correct way i.e. sending a PM with my questions - which is exactly what I did with the one on eBay & thats what I get back.
Regarding my valuation of someone else's car, that was simply what I would be willing to pay for this particular car if it meant I had to get the belts done straight after buying, of course you have to look at each coupe individually, which is what I'm doing
