Looks like I got myself a dippy!!

This is the original e-bay add.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4617154206#description

Apparently the guy who bought it did'nt take it because he thought it had tax on.

Not sure yet BC, picking it up next week. I will put it through MOT first before I start chucking any other bucks at it.
Just noticed from the photo its got a wrong un on it (not top priority) also headlamp wash/wipes missing. Nothing serious.
As always, not even got the motor yet and am already chucking pound coins at it

FInally colected the car today.
Bit of a mixed bag, Body and interior quite tidy, Needs a damn good clean!!
Tyres just legal.
Brakes Very spongy, wear indicator light on......Guy had coloured it in with black marker!!
ABS warning light on........but went off half home.
Front suspension a bit clunky......suspect track rod or similar.
Engine a bit rough at first but once it had had a good blast seemed to get a lot smoother.
Lot of damp in the boot and no sign of suspension pump up valve.
Passenger side Fog Knackered, Bumper rough (didn't someone have a satin red bumper somewhere?)
Gear box seems sweet.......and it goes like Sh*t off a shovel !!
So all in for £100......seems well worth it. Will MOT soon then decide on action plan.
One question for people what is the difference in spec between a Dippy and a CDXi?
All I can find is Air Con (Which is Knackered) and a bit of walnut under the stereo.

I think the dips come with leather as standard and the boot changer, other than that theres not a lot of difference, oh and the wheels of course

Leather was optional and I think the air con might be as well.
Not alot of difference when you get down to it.  I believe you may have had a wider choice of colours too.
