Great thread!
First to see will buy - nobody's come to view it.
Will throw in new cambelt and gaskets - you'll need to do these as soon as you leave my driveway.
Tires are like new - but each one is designed and manufactured in a different corner of the globe.
All electrics work - manual windows.
Below average mileage - 30,000 mile gap in service history/MOT/V5 etc.
No expense spared - on this ad, but plenty on the car.

Will hate to see it go - hopefully will manage to keep a straight face until purchaser has driven it round the corner
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is

Slight electrical fault = None of the electrics work apart from the lights on the dash - which refuse to go out.

Any statement by a seller which starts "I've been told........" will be a lie.

Long MOT = "it expirers when you get to the end of the road"
"real head turner" = and theyre all saying what a cun7 you look
"sunroof has no leaks" = "you might as well fit a shower"
"re-listed due to timewaster" = "it didnt reach my grossly over inflated reserve so im trying again"
"interior needs a valet" = "cum stains on the back seat"
"low mileage" = "new clocks"
"mature owner" = "been backed into a wall"
"original stereo" = "right up your street if your faveorate song is- static"

like theres a knocking noise coming from the front of the car, ive been told its a loose belt and will be a cheap fix - the engine is on its last legs and a remortgage is needed.
