Cheap QP worth a look?

[Contigo]

This one stands out to me and needs a little work for the airbag light and parking sensors but could be a bargain for someone.

I'd be making a call to Maranello to see when clutch was last done too and get a list of all services etc...

https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/

Lists it as having a new MOT and failed for the Airbag/SRS light at the start of the month but has now passed with a couple of advisories

Advisory notice item(s)
nearside rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
offside rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)

Could well be a proper bargain if you do your homework and contact Maranello

If I didn't already have 3 Trident's I'd be all over this one.

Very nice but I can't get over the matt green Benz parked next to it - who would do that unless you're in the army I guess?

 

[Contigo]

Looking at the name and cars they have I am guessing they are Asians.

Lovely colour and paint looks like a deep shine...never a fan of the standard wheels but they could be changed. Is that grey leather...can't see on my phone.

Always makes me laugh, no reserve auction, with a starting bid of £9250...

 

[Andyk]

Yep, edging their bets to get 10k there Dicky at least.

 

[dem maser]

ye they are Asians in Wembley...seen the outfit before......

If the airbag light is still on and it has a fresh MOT I wouldn't trust the MOT as being done properly as airbag light on is a fail , somebody somewhere has investigated the fault then offloaded it IMO

If it was a simple fix they would have done it

That interior is awful , looks like a 1980s rover

I was about to say the same re the MOT...no doubt a bung somewhere.

A friend of mine had a QP airbag issue that nobody could find for ages. Turned out to be the connector under the seat. May well be the same issue here? May also be a bigger issue.

Or they reset the light for the MOT and being a dodgy connector it's come back. Either way, not a ringing endorsement

Had that with Mrs Catman's 147. Also the glove box switch is ropey in the Alfas and the 4200 (same part)

That happens on the 3200 also

My airbag light has been on/off for 3 years for MOTs, replaced the switch in the glovebox this summer £20, fixed it.

I was interested until you said Wembley.....sounds too good to be true & probably more to meets the eye if in Wembley!

 

[Andyk]

It certainly feels like it rockits but suppose may be worth a look just to put your mind at rest........

Is Wembly a dodgy area then?

There are a great many Asians in Wembley just like there are a great many Poles in Boston - are you saying that they are all un trust worthy?!

 

[rockits]

I said nothing about Asians at all and have no issues with any human being of any shape, size, colour, creed, race etc. at all.

You are adding words to what I said. I said nothing of the sort. I just commented on the area as I have worked there often and often had issues. Please read carefully on stuff like this please.

Of course I am sure there are plenty of decent people in Wembley. Just that my own personal experiences could have been better both working there & when looking at cars. Maybe a generalisation but that was my own personal opinion drawn from my own personal experiences which is all I have to work on. Other opinions & experiences are available.

 

[StuartW]

Fair enough Rockits & my apologies for any misinterpretation on my part. I have Asian family in Wembley and they all get tarred with the same brush so often it's not even funny.
My comment was tongue in cheek, hence ending in a '!' but all areas have their positive and negative points, some more so than others
