I shouldn't think he needs any advice really.
The lack of bids will tell him what he needs to know.
Can't see the point of trying to get the price reduced unless you may want to bid.
No.  It isn't my ad either   ;D

he needs to understand though, you cant try to sell that for £4900!!!!!

I'm sure he will find that out soon enough.  I take your point though.  I would probably struggle to get that for my van (an 03 plate Renault Trafic).

Cheeky beggar   ;D
I will probably try to sell it on here around October 2010 when I've finished repaying the loan on it (when it will be nearly 8 years old with 90,000+ miles).  Watch this space   ;D

Just looked at the battery in his van, its a car battery and there not designed for constant deep discharge, you won't get 10hrs out of it, and you will be lucky if its any good at all.

you cant blame the guy for trying  obviously he wasnt going to get a lot of money for it
like anything its only worth what somebodys willing to pay.i find it a bit strange how excited you are all getting by it, emailing the guy for no reason is a bit sad.

and no its not me i work from a renault espace at mo......totally unproffesional ;D
