going to look at this over the weekend.
came out ok on mycarcheck.com - but it does seem cheap - not that i'd tell the seller that :wink:
just a bit wary of being scammed.

That is a good price although green cars are always worth less than silver, black etc. Forget Parkers as they value cars to high IMHO. This is what the trade guide says:

Excellent condition:
£3670

Average condition:
£3250

Below average condition:
£2810


Personally I wouldn't bother as its miles away from you and it will probably be a sh*tter. This may sound harsh, but I wouldn't buy a car from someone who cant spell even the most basic of words.
