Asked about cambelt change on the phone. Answer "It's not had a cambelt change since I've owned it."

How long have you had it? "2 years. It had about 47,000 on it when I bought it."

I understand you've listed it a few times now? "Yes, but people keep either not phoning or making excuses. I had one guy said he'd bid by mistake..."

Is there a bit of a mileage descrepancy? The first time it was listed with about 97,000. "Yes, I made a mistake putting it in."


Pity really, because it does look like a nice enough example, but who knows what's being hidden. After all, with no proof or service history to support the mileage, what's to say that the cambelt even got changed at 80k as stated in the first listing?

My opinion? No proof of cambelt change put first buyers off (perhaps rightly as maybe it wasn't done) so a friend with the right software wipes 40k off the clock so that people might buy thinking that it doesn't need doing for another 30k, unfortunately forgetting that even with only 60k on the clock it'll be approaching the 10 year mark & still due the change anyway.

Criminal genius he certainly isn't though. It's so easy to set up an Ebay account & would have been much easier to just sell on another ID after the "haircut".

I love the way he uses private listings (don't show any bidding history) - almost makes you wonder who is actually bidding.
