Good to know but if he doesn't answer the phone I can't look at it I have no issue with a car having had paint before but not wanting a repaired write off obviously I'd guess 80% of all cars get car park dings scratched and light damage at some point in their life And not all panel beaters should be panel beaters ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nivek4209 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Blue one gone off Internet Might explain why he didn't answer the phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick-r1 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 just as well, it was a write off, the whole passo side of it was what looked to be rattle canned, id a quick look over it over a year ago, then i believe gt driver had a look at it too when he was looking for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nivek4209 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 What about the metal grey one in Dublin 6€ Some one else looking today but if they don't take it I'm gonna check it out The blue one at 4 grand isn't commercial converted and doesn't sound too well minded just my impression from talking to seller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick-r1 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Its not done? Strange seen as its advertised as it is. Silver one I actually done know anything about. Didnt really look at the silver ones. Not a fan of the colour on a zed tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nivek4209 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 I lke the outside colour if it had black leather I'd love it Yea the blue one has nothing done to commercialise it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick-r1 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 They dont need anything done its all paperwork. Bit of a grey area too but can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nivek4209 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 There's rumour of the small goods commercial tax getting a big hike in the next budget it's an easy target seen as it's comparatively cheap and commercial vehicles generally do more miles on our roads Might make it pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
