For Sale On Autotrader (Not Mine - Not Endorsing - Just Questioning)

Blue 04 plate is200 with 84000 miles for £750.00. Is it just me, or is that (there's something wrong) kinda cheap?

[IHgs300]

That is cheap.BUT it's only got 1 months mot and doesn't mention tax. Always rings alarm bells when they have short mot and on offer for a low price.

[Stuart Aspey]

Indeed. I was looking for a cheap runaround as my wife is looking to learn to drive and that is200 popped up, he also says the alloys are16", but iI'm sure they're the 17"s in the photo . . .

Well, I'm not looking for another is200, so I'm not too worried about it. I just think that too many people are thinking economical now, early is200/is300's are coming in very cheap . . . . .

[IHgs300]

To tell you the truth if i had £750 lying around id take a punt on it, If it failed mot drastically you could break for parts, the dash tray is worth £100 on it's own.

Sounds too good to be true!

The 1 month MOT would put me off. Sounds like its gonna fail on a couple grands worth of work!

[Stuart Aspey]

Yeah, 2004 sport with only 84000 miles. I reckon you'd turn up to it and it'd be on 16" steel wheels with the back end hanging off . . . . . .
