At a wild guess, what does one reckon it would cost to replace those damaged parts at the back?

Wonder if the seller would mind selling individual parts from that car (if he gets no luck selling the car) as I need some bits to replace in my car :)

This vehicle might be ideal stuff for "Zedy" (Mo)

UPDATE:
I've emailed the seller, lets see what he says. I will update on this thread.


Also just noticed the seller is selling other damaged cars on ebay as well, looks like he might be working at a car salvage yard or something

I noticed that too, I could do with a couple of pieces from the front end. If you had the space to keep it and got it for £500 even £1000 you could break it down and make much more than that. The gear box alone would quite a bit, as would the headlights, engine, even the alloys. Let me know what he says, I'd love a spare pair of headlights if the price was reasonable.

Just noticed though, 0 feedback? hmmm

Hmmm.... Seller says that it needs bootlid, back panel, r/bumper, boot floor. On top of that, look at the petrol filler cap.... Can anyone else see a slight ripple there?

Looks repairable, but would probably be quite expensive, getting it all right and lined up...

[ritch_w]

it wouldn't have been written off for no reason.

would probably only be cheap enough if you had access to a body shop with the skills to repair yourself, I'd imagine paying someone would work out rather expensive....

ooohh Deja vu.....

That looks slightly worse than my blue one when it bit the bullet - but mine rippled in exactly the same place around the filler cap - and thats what tipped mine over into write off category

The black leather seats are nice in that ebay car though :thinking: :inquisiti

Just noticed the seller only lives about 20 minutes from where I am so I might go in for a visit and check it out first

looks like the seller has added more pictures to his auction. Looks quite bad

[MGV6]

It depends. Seller is under no obligation to sell it to the highest bidder in these circumstances but it is sold if the seller accepts the final price :)
