Make it nice & tidy, then sell on the Blue one.

Hoping to get a project soon, possibly something from Italy, with a dancing donkey on the front.

Now that could be more challenging.

Always (*) fancied a bargain 365GT4 2+2 - early model before it became the 400/412. Used to be quite affordable and with manual boxes too. Mostly Daytona running gear and those wheels - lovely.

Any clues to what you'd be looking for?

(*) Saw one in London when I was very small. One of Pininfarina's best shapes I think.

always fancied a Magnum style 308, probably a 456GT though, or a 550

Orange interior?

I got a "good vibe" from my ebay seller too, but he sold me a lemon that was barely-cared for. U.S. law (and probably your state law) requires the seller reveal all flaws to the buyer, because the buyer is purchasing the item without an opportunity to inspect it himself. I would tell that to the Seller, so he will reveall all he knows.

Note this law also applies to "as is" items. For example a seller can not sell a car with a nonoperational engine and then say, "Sorry no refund... car sold as is." He has to reveal the fact of the dead engine to the buyer, and if he does not, the courts will issue a refund (plus money wasted on travel and legal expenses).

As they used to say on the ole Rolan and Martin Laugh-In show (for those that remember) "I didn't know that". Truly I didn't. Thanks, I'll use that fact in the future.

Yes, Orange interior.



Quite bright isn't it?

However, I am prepared to live with it as Insights with mileage as low as this one come up very rarely in the UK as there are now less than a couple of hundred left here I belive, and I'm pretty sure this is possibly the lowest mileage one left.

If the colour becomes too much I'll simply get a re trim.

The orange interior won't be much of a problem as you shouldn't be looking at it whilst driving the car! Fingers crossed the seller is on the level.

Thanks. I'm sure it'll be fine, he has a nice Integra Type R up for sale too.

His last black Insight that he owned (before this one) is currently for sale on Autotrader, may call the seller to check what he thought of the guy.
