Hi Eugene yes you are correct about this car i was trying to buy it only to be told that it had been sold to someone in Ireland & the price was ?3250ono & the same wording in the advert structural rust delt with etc, but the car never came over here & i biught another 131 sport anyhow, i reckon that any one in buying this car should be looking at trying to get the price way down to whatever they can because as being a genuine Uk car it has been bodged  & bodged to pass mot every year & i  let the owner say that i am wrong, i have plenty of experience of working on Uk Dunklels that have lots of mot but are rotten & i would like to bet that this car is Rotten!! so where are you Jim131???

I don't see how you can say a car is rotten without seeing it. Yes it may be, but then again it may be a very solid shell or a shell that has been welded to a good standard. The only way to tell is to go and look at the car in question to see for yourself. As far as I am aware no one on here has actually been to look at this car. If I was looking to buy a 131 sport (which I am not) I would be off to see the car, then at least you can make an informed decision about whether it is for you or not.

How could anyone go & see it when told it was sold? you shouldnt have to go & see it anyway the seller should be honest to tell you what was done to it truthfully, & you say welded to a good standard!! does anyone in the Uk know what that means?? because all that i have had experience with is weld OVER rust fill & shutz on cars from the Uk & with full Mot, beats me some of the cars i worked on were so rotten that there is no way they would pass Nct here in Ireland, i have seen a couple good ?? all welded cars that have come over here lately & its a bloody joke the workmanship standard is terrible.

Well Sid I haveto agree as I went to see a car in London for a friend with lots of MOT "12 months test" and to say rotten didnt even come near it. My friend was very annoyed with his description of rust only on the tailgate only to find rust on everything but the tailgate but my friend had to hold me back before I lost the head for wasting my day not alone my friends. I have already seen a 131 in the last 12 months with "MOT" approved welding to British Departmental Standards ie "good quality welding" this was all done by welding a floor on top of a rotten floor how is this good welding, this is the standard of welding that an apprentice mechanic in southern Ireland would be told he has failed his first training and would be struck of any engineering based apprenticeships here  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes good welding my ARSE  Shocked Shocked

Well said Dave they havnt a feckin clue what a good weld is, i used to sort of give the benifit of the doubt to some of the garage blokes but they know nothing about quality, all they do is quick tidy for mot & then fleece anyone who buys the car cos "its got full Mot mate" not only hanging with rust, that carry on makes me sick do the job right or not at all. i could say a lot more but dont want a war!!!
