Someone willing to view a car in Essex?

quattrostyle · 13-03-12, 12:50 PM

I'm looking for a decent 90 quattro for a while now because I regret selling my tornado red one that was my daily for 3 years. Finding a LHD one in decent condition is not that easy so I consider converting a RHD vehicle to LHD.

Now the following car popped up in Essex and I'm interested: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-90-QU...63044208305547

Because there are not that much detailed pictures in the ad, understatement, would it be nice if some of you CA members in or near Essex could view the car for me and take some pictures/ talk to the owner etc.

So the question is: who of you wants to help me with this

I wouldn't bother with this one

It was on ebay last year.

The previous young lad car trader owner, via a telephone conflab, convinced me it was a decent car. So I dragged a trailer from Nottm to lancashire. The trailer came back empty. (cost me £40.00 to hire it aswell!!)

It's really not a nice car. Very tatty inside/outside/enginebay etc. Has had various poor quality paint repairs all of differing shades, depths & sheens. Rotten door bottoms, scabby arches & scuttle across the bottom of the windscreen.

The camera really does lie sometimes

Yes Mick I remember that one now - did not think it was the same car due to the difference in shine.

And this company sold it http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayIS...ab=AllFeedback on 22-May-11

You're not far wrong. There was nothing nice about it

The previous seller was expecting a four figure sum for it!! I told him it was worth circa £300, but he may very be lucky & get £500. He called me back 5 or 10 mins after I'd left & offered it me for £500...I floored it & ran like a scalded cat

Deffo same car Taff. Look at the current sellers feedback(as a buyer) & you'll spot the previous lancashire based seller
