In that case I am sure I am better covered under the sale of goods act should anything go wrong with vehicle that he has not described?
Be aware that if he is a dealer posing as an individual this could lead to all sorts of complications. We have that t shirt!

I think also that if the Frontera requires tax that will be around another £240

As long as it was registered before March/ April 2001 it will be £225 tax, the same as my Range Rover.

Yes I have looked at that before, could it pull my caravan though? also no towbar fitted, not a major problem I know, but having had the clutch/flywheel done should mean one big expense has been spared!
I would rather buy a car without a towbar then you know that it hasn"t pulled before .
Look on here Towcar and look at the user reviews and you see that car should be ok if not go after a 4x4 M8

The only thing is what have they towed if they have Towbars on ,for all we know could be Twin Axles Caravan but are the Skoda Superbs 1.9tdi 130BHP at the price he wants to pay £1500--£2000 ..

That is nowhere near £2000, Bob, be very careful or you could make yourself look very silly.

So, Bob, as the OP was asking for cars £1500 to £2000 are you trying to say a Skoda dealer would be willing to drop the price of a Superb from £11,000 to £2,000?

The price of second hand cars in the Uk is quite high at the moment due to not many new cars being ordered, I recently sold my wifes old picasso for more than it was booked last year and was inundated with calls for it.
i actually used we buy any car for a laugh earlier this year, they sent me a mail 3 months later saying that my car had increased in value and could they revalue thier offer.
Bob the price of second hand cars is also lower in scotland than down south, if you go to the auctions you'll often find a lot of dealers buying cars and moving them down to manchester and the likes.
