I am sure you are right Jono, but where's the advantage to the guy that's selling it. 84 special versus 87 D*lly what's the difference. Surly if its worth what he is asking [not sure it is] it would depend on whether its a good car or not.

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
There may be nothing dodgy, it might be reshelled. But it is not what it says it is, and with no explanation as to why then one must treat it with an element of doubt. I'm sure it's not stolen, rung, bent or anything, and I'm sure the majority of us wouldn't think twice about looking at it if we were buying a car, but if I was parting with my hard earned then I wouldn't want to buy something I couldn't be sure wasn't stolen.
