A strange question, with a lot of additional questions I suspect....
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2000-TOYO...9246230?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c21fbfb16
I was wondering about looking at this motor about a month ago, when it was advertised for sale at £4000.
As you see from the link, it is now poorly.
I just called them to ask for some details in the fault, and was told that: "It was working fine, and then the car just stopped. No drive. Engine runs fine, but the car won't move. No noise, no smell, no puddle of oil underneath, no smyptoms before it stopped working. Gear selector moves ok, but its just broken down."
They were driving it when it stopped working, and it was then recovered to a nearby garage, which is where it currently is sat waiting!
Very glad that I didn't buy it a month ago (!) but wondering now weather to persue it, and buy it for less, and take the 'risk' that the repair isn't going to make the full price too huge.
So, anyone got any thoughts based on the info so far?
