Bargain or headache?

neither!

Doesnt look quite such a bargain, when you go to their website and see what price they actually want for the car. Unfortunately, most ebay motor sales have the following get-out clause

CAR ADVERTISED ELSEWHERE AND WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SELL AT ANY TIME

Which means that even if it is very close to the end of the auction and it looks like your about to get a bargain, they pull the auction and you get nothing.

sticky situation when they do that, bet you that half the time they don't have it advertised anywhere alse they just want a good price, the AM is a lovely car but how much would he get if he had to take that to a dealer

cheers

The seller was a dealer. Its on their website for £98k, so i'd be interested if they actually sold it to the winner for the winning bid of £85k?!

More interestingly, looking at the winners question, they cant be serious! I mean who buys a Vanquish and asks how many seats and how many sets of keys it has!

Perhaps you didn't know this but the Vanquish came in a 2+0 and 2+2. Maybe the keys are important, in the same way as Maserati and Fiat keys have master keys?

Fair enough. Seemed a bit odd though.

I always tend to find that if I am number 1. 2,3,4 and 5 follow in quick succession
