The person writing the advert did not have to mention the now living abroad situation. Is 6K particularly cheap for a car that doesn't present especially well in the picture without a V5?

Wouldn't a non runner with work but with a V5 only be about 2K more?

Is it really an attractive price? (This is a serious question - I'm not "up" on the UK market - here in NL 8K euros would get you something similar I think but that would be road legal)
I think estates start about £4K for poor but restorable up to £25k for obscenely good. The rear is rusted through on the arch so I would bank on the rear quarters, rear and possibly floor area at least will need a good bit of welding. These areas apart from the arches on the estate can’t be bought so needs to be fabricated.
