1998 R Reg?
So who's going to post the first question then?
At £500 it would be difficult to make money splitting the car once you factor in collection and ultimate disposal costs.
Black velour interior (mmm..nice) so not worth much at all then.
Tele dial wheels - every bodies favourites - worth less than not much unless you have a VW [8|]
The best option might be to get a old Golf and swap all the swappable bits off the wrecked Lux.

I just don't get it.
Even if it was off the road and not registered until 1998, 180k in 7 years is a hell of a lot of miles.
It's not even as if it's a typo of a 1988 car as he specifies r-reg (and it looks like an old bumper style so that pre-87?)!? either that or it's on an old R-plate for some reason.
Really (or realy) wierd.

You would think that he might have tried some gentle straightening out, removed the damaged light surround and shown some pictures of the better features of the car. Some people don't deserve to sell stuff.
Does e-bay have some method of reporting misrepresentation as this must be a prime case?

Looking through some of the gentleman's previous transactions it would appear that he is a car breaker who repairs cars and resells them.
He recently sold a Vauxhall Aguila (?) which he repaired and re registered so I guess it is possible that this car was written off and then re registered in '98. Just the sort of car you want to be putting a bid on then [

Meester Sims, we are going to be doing "pistols at dawn".
If you attend the pre-arranged meetings....
Some of us LOVE the teledial-look, and have tried to up-grade to the 16" option. Only problem is the difference in perceived value between Phil R and SWMBO.....
Paul McNulty - back with a vengance and a fixed handbrake for now....

Hi Paul,
My comments were worthwhile if only to flush you out of the bushes. []
I'm glad that you have sorted your hand brake problems at last and am very disappointed that I missed out on the Reading meet.
Still, back to the thread.
While teledials have a obvious period appeal, the main problem with them is that they are very plentiful and thus not easy to sell at a good price. I myself have a set of the nastiest wheels ever bolted to a '44 being the flat 928 forged jobbies. They might be light but offer next to no air flow for the brakes. And, just to heighten their appeal further, a previous owner had them mirror polished [:'(].
