Car drives superb according to the advert.

This is true up to a point. However, when the auto box refuses to change out of low gear the drive is not so superb. :)

I'm tempted to buy it back. Insanity, of course. ;D

No mention of the cost of road tax. ::)

Looks a tidy thing to be fair. Do you think they bothered to do anything with the auto box?

I'm not sure there is much profit in it.

WBAC paid me £943. Presumably they sold it on for a profit.

£2195 at present but I reckon they'll be glad to be shot of it for £1500 once people become aware of the cost to tax it.

WBAC probably put it in a BCA auction.

I would be interested to know what she made.

I'd hazard a guess that it was somewhere between £943 and £2195.  :)

With auction fees I reckon about £1250.....forget the £2195 figure, they'll be glad to shift it for £1500 come the summer. :)

Hardly worth the effort.
