what im saying is if i can get it cheap then im game, but if i need to spend alot just to get it then its gonna cost me alot in the long run...

he wont give a starting price lol

see, i spotted it outside his garage, and later found out that the person who owns the garage is the husband of a woman whose mam works with my mam... haha get youre head around that one :thumbsup:

i dont want to offer him 500 as it looks as though he wants to scrap it... hes filled it with bags and bags of rubbish old oil filters and oil cans ect... for all i know he could have been given it :D

go for £300, its not a great deal of money and it would be easy to sell on and not make a loss if you change your mind. you never know, he might want it gone so could be cheaper

it looks like its in your favour - house move, twins means no time for him to do it and not much money so you could get a bargain out of it.
