Hmm, seems really cheap for mileage?

Shame it hasn't got the reg on the advert as I bet there's got to be some dodgy history with it.

Anyone want to buy my 106 gti? I'll go and buy that

Private poor book price, which is about right if he's saying it needs work.

Could be legit. As John says, they're coming down in price now.

hmm, it doesn't sound like much though, a bit of paint and kerbed wheels...

there's a similar milage, same year, same colour one on pistonheads for near to 6k!

Start on trader from around £4k. If he's desperate it could be genuine.

Being on pistonheads for 6k and being worth that is a different matter.

I'd not be paying 6k for a 7 year old civic.

I would say the price is right. Whether that makes it a genuine sale of course is debatable. Although it is a plausible story and he's left real mobiles and a land line.

As said, could be genuine. The fact it has a landline gives a glimmer of hope!

He spelt bought as brought, for that reason id never buy a car from him. Same as people who put for sale signs in their car without stating a price.

most start at about 4500 but its all down to condition and mileage in my book, would rather spend the extra and get a minter.
