It looks just the job and the price is good. The reg, MOT and mileage all check out on DVLA . The owner’s profile is, um...interesting and he has done “time “. He appears to buy and sell from a lock-up on his street. What says the stw mind?
☝🏻Doesn’t even look that legitimate
Caveat Emptor is all your responsibility.
I take it he is a trader but offers none of the benefits of a trader, such as a warranty or reputation? I would say the price reflects this gamble.
My current car was off a shady geezer in Blackburn that just flipped trade ins on. They were the less perfect with patchy history. It was a reasonable gamble and he took my Jazz with suspected power steering issues as PX...
I'd be interested in the provenance of any parts he's stuck in it, and good luck if it goes pop five miles down the road. Total gamble on your part, depends how cheap it is, and how much you can afford to lose all of it.
So it's a no from me!
Unless it was for throw-away money (unlikely) then not a chance
Its a semi automatic Peugeot Tepee 1.6 diesel se 2012, 120k miles. He wants £2600 whereas comparable model at dealerships are 6 to £8k. How bad would it have to be for this to be a bad deal?
Have you hpi checked it?

Not with 120000 miles they won't be. The price looks about what I'd expect without any dealer to run to if it goes TU. Do your due diligence and hope for the best.
If it seems too cheap to be true, theres probably a reason, and not a good one at that. By all means take a look, but be prepared to walk away.
Have you hpi checked it?
Is this still a thing? What will it tell me that the DVLA website didn’t?
RAC check is all clear. 4 previous owners. They suggest private buyers value of 3.5k Dealership £4.5k
I will check the gearbox shifts ok and the rear shocks aren’t borked as it has a towbar.
If it's a write off if it's finance clear.
Is go in eyes open. Got a garage or a mate in the trade to go in with you n crawl round it?
Oh check svc history they're prone to turbo failure due to infrequent oil changes
Cheers for that dunc, don’t want another of those!
It's worth a look like I say.
Most stuff I see on FB like that's been bumped n fixed on the cheap there's nothing inherently wrong doing it just some people don't do it right
Got a link?
Yeah, we need a link to see if it is a bargain or a munter 🙂
Just been to see it. Absolutely minging. Some new definition of “excellent condition inside and out “ that I didn’t previously know about, I suppose.
Walks like a duck....
