I am currently in the market for a cheap, good looking work horse.

This looks interesting....

Anyone know the car? Or willing to go take a look?

That does look fairly promising, I would be looking through the dealer servicing that is claimed to see what has been done, but with 19 stamps it should have many inspection 1 and 2 services in there.

The car looks so, so.

But as above, the seller is a complete helmet.

I live in Liverpool, and have been too see a couple of Ata's cars for sale. One was ok the other a dog and the documentation seemed fake, MOTs, bills, receipts ect. Steer clear, he's a wheeler dealer scam artist.

Can i ask why you had to bring race into it for ? What relevance does his ethnic origin have. Surely you could have simply said he is a horrible trader....what was gained by highlighting his ethnic background.

Ps. Just for the record, the correct spelling is Asian, not Asain.
