It is not that you can see who is bidding anyway with most of their account blanked off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1200bandit 410 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Was looking at this, checked the bidding list as Jess has pointed out the listing looks a bit doggy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mickfrad 207 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Reached a good price if it did sell. Does this show the rise in Manta prices. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike. 784 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I have a feeling it may appear on e bay again soon, I’m not sure it sold at that price. If it did sell genuinely, then I would agree, coupe project prices are on the rise. The roof alone would be a lot of work, and I think when stripping it the usual manta rust areas would need work too. would make a nice manta once done though and unusual being the auto, I would keep it that way and refrain from the 5 speed manual upgrade. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evo3000 523 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Its not worth that kind of money ..however if someone wants to pay it then all well and good for mantakind.......... The End.....🤡 Edited November 28, 2020 by evo3000 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stumpy 193 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 i was looking at this listing myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jessopia74 931 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I do wonder if they buy it, then actually change their mind when they visually inspect it.🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise it would have ended at £4K or just over, anytime i see one end just below a round figure i am suspicious or people trying to push the sale price. Personally i always bid just over a round number because if the other bidder was dead on you win. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheRealExile 454 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I have had people win cars and then turn up trying to haggle, I always list every known fault to avoid this.... one bloke turned up with his 'mechanic' who tried to tell me the clutch was on its way out and wanted 200 quid off, I duly opened the boot to show him the packaging for the clutch I'd fitted 2 weeks back, he spluttered something about it must be his new boots making it feel a bit odd 🤣 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike. 784 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Missed this one second time round, did it sell this time? if so was the price more realistic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mickfrad 207 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Not sure what happened I’m sure it had bids early on. Maybe he did a deal and ended it early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike. 784 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Is it going to pop up for a third time? 🤣 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
