No, it would have been shagged in reality.
All the warning signs are there:
'Re-advertised due to timewaster' - ie. someone won the auction, viewed the car, saw it was a shed and told the owner to f*ck off.
'No V5, even though I've had the car since June 04'
Hmmmm, so the owner is getting rid after only a few months and the last winner walked away 'cos it was a shed.

the missing footnote should read as follows ;- [1] Unless its an M5.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I do my best ;-)
I think I've been right more often than wrong.
I'm very cynical and a salesman's nightmare when buying cars - which meant I got my last two for silly cheap prices.
COSOC?

Cult of the Shite Old Cars.
Was a UKRM thing I did, 'cos so many of us have nice bikes and s**te old cars.
You missed a 156 V6 for £100 over the other day at my local auction house. Most annoying thing was I knew the seller and he was only floggin it cos he got banned in it. He wanted £1450 for it, and it was well worth that... to get it for £600 was just taking the piss. Momo leather in it, FARSH, 71k miles, and a genuine UK car as well.
He was gutted, eBay "no reserve" techniques don't work in Tuebrook auctions... especially not on Alfas. It's where I bought my last 164 for £160..
To be honest, £600 wasn't taking the piss _that_ much as it's due a £400 cambelt and tensioners service within the next 1k miles.
Still, even after spending that you'd have a nice car for a grand.
I *really* want this:
Oh that is fantastic, but you would need an Afro wig, flares and platforms to do it real justice

mate of mine had one of those about 15 years ago, but his was a 2dr 2000GT (rare as anything).. Most excellent car that was. Those seats are impossible to find in that condition.
Nah, what you need is a 2.9 V6, a couple of tur........ No, I'm not going there.

But... but... the Saab doesn't embarrass Civic Type R owners :-D, and it's probably much better on fuel.
...and people won't think you're going to get out and ask anyone you've never met before, if they '...like dags?'.
It's a terrible vehicle, and I think you should either get rid straight away, or consider grafting on a Mk1 front end - I hear it's all the rage these days.

Ahhhhh, herm. Yes it does. It might not get off the line, but I'm at full boost, and holding before they've even got into the VTEC band.

That could work.
