How long ago did you own the car?
Any chance the work could have been done?

Thats the problem with these shady used car dealerships, selling scrappers for 2.5k

when on this planet is a 17 year old car with 160k worth £2.5k

4 years bud. Work may have been carried out but very much doubt it considering the amount of work I've done to the Exeo to get it up together and it's was also advertised with no issues.

Bud I chopped it in for £500 just to get some money off the Exeo. I've never had any service history with the Leon, so don't get how they are saying it has, I just hope they've done the rear bushes as it's bloody dangerous, spun me on the motorway once.

So, had a look at the pictures (because why not) and...

Interior is well worn, there's scrape marks on the bumpers, there appears to be a weird dent on the front bumper (near side right where the bolt cover is), and it's missing a jacking point cover.

Don't suppose you rememver how many miles you had on it when you offloaded it?

157.117, I'm sure that's what was on it when chopped. It had a scratch near fuel cap, osr bumper damaged, no engine under trays whatsoever

Look at the absolute pile they're asking two grand for.

Thats a couple hundred quid at best, needs a total respray, even then you'll end up with an old car with 136,000 on it

I suppose they only need one idiot to turn up?
£2500, that's double what I've ever paid for a car.:drive1:

I'll have to explore all the cheesy smileys!
