Set a price limit on how much you will pay for it and stick to that limit.
Put your bid in on ebay at the last minute.
He's set no reserve, so once the auction ends the highest bidder wins.

Because the car's been stripped for the track there will be a limited market. You may get lucky. :vtec:

Couple of Ideas. Have you got anyone with £600 that would let you have it as long as you paypal them the money first?
Picking it up. Will you be in the Country during the timescale required? If so book it in for an MOT local to you and drive it back,you are legal then( yes I know hundreds of miles is streaching it a bit far though!) If you get tugged by the Police its a no pointer and about £60 fine. Just don't hit anything!

But when it gets bad,
I take something for it.

It went for more than I was expecting. Not to worry, I'll start my hunt propper for a JDM 4G in a couple of weeks.
