Used Peugeot 406 for sale on ebay – 1 careless owner

Posted by: UK Car Reviews in Peugeot News

A listing surfaced at ebay recently for a Blue 1997 Peugeot 406 LX. The car seems in fine shape all appart from being photographed after crashing into a ditch to swerve a rabbit.

Here’s the flawless sales pitch…

This will be the 3rd bucket of shiite I’ve sold on ebay – does this make me an official used car salesman/tw*t?

As you can see from the photo, the car is normally kept off the main road in a nice, secure location.

The photo was taken about a month ago when I made the rash decision of swerving to avoid a rabbit, whilst driving at the insane speed of 5mph. I’ve since had the car retrieved, fixed and then broken again.

Last night, the timing belt on this beauty decided to snap. I sat for an hour at a set of traffic lights – looking like a total bell-end – waiting to be towed away by the same people who rescued me after the rabbit incident (they must think I’m a real cool guy). I’ve apparently broken all 8 exhaust valves, and it’s going to cost ?992 to fix (bargain).

As you can see, this car has had nothing but the upmost care taken with it. I’m not putting a reserve on the car, but the person who buys it (cause you will) will have to collect and get it fixed yourself. It has nearly a year’s MOT, and is taxed till July or August time. In the time I’ve had it, there has only been one ginger in it, and no confirmed gays. It has a brand new exhaust. The interior is a queer buff colour and the boot – for some reason – has been covered with maroon carpet fittings.

The listing goes on to offer a wealth of freebies to help push the sale through inculuding “a deflated football, an empty milk carton, a finished bottle of engine oil” and a few cans of Panda Cola, which are all apparently glued to the boot carpet.

And for the animal loving would be Peugeot drivers out there, reassurance comes with the closing line:

I can confirm that this car has not been tested on animals.

I’d say get bidding now, but unfortunately the ebay auction has ended with a bargain bid of only ?139.00!
