Friend of the family just bought a car, a 2001 Seicento 900cc.
A quick glance reveals every panel bar the roof has been painted and not especially well.
Its had a crunch on the OSF and the inner wing is clearly still rippled to hell.
More worryingly perhaps, both rear tyres are wearing horribly on the inside but 5mm on the outer tread and the brakes have failed once though came back with some pumping of the pedal.
On the plus side in has a new MOT and a load of tax and 'apparently' its done 50000 miles, which I have my doubts about. It supposedly has full service history though again, the quality of that servicing remains to be seen. The oil is clean but the coolant is brown.
Petrol tank isnt rusty either but teh exhaust is a cheapo one that is somewhat boomy but doesnt seem to leak.
She paid £650 for it and personally I think she was 'done' as she does huge miles but has little money and I have a bad feeling about it, smells iffy if you know what I mean.
Any opinions on what you would do/say if you were me?
