You had one - you should have kept it - so no, keep to the shopping car and save for your house, perhaps a 2.2TD would suit you

Gear selector switch; easy fix (if that`s all it is) TC & ABS lights, probably ABS ECU, about £120 quid having existing one repaired, xenon light could possibly be new levelling motor?

late 2001 so co2 emissions come into play, with the faults and mileage - i'd say its worth £1250 max

"The car is fully driveable and runs really well" :question :question :question :question Leave it alone. I would pay starting price max, then you`re still taking a chance

if advertised right, outside of ebay, i reckon it'll take more than a grand, but the more i think about it, the more i think its got more faults unmentioned, like maybe crap tyres, loads of above average surface blemishes, little niggles they probably didnt mention

will probe further :D

a couple of weekends, about £250 and it would be uptogether.....would you make money on it.....sorry but no!!

the trade is dead in the water, nothing is moving, especially big engined cars, if it had LPG then yes it would be possible to move it on.....

I would be careful Danny.  I bought one off Ebay and it was a wreck.  

Terrible oil leak, no thermostat,  rags stuffed in the middle of the engine, cruise control broken, cd changer packed up after a week, MID completely failed, coolant poured out all over the road, bonnet catch broke and the head gasket failed.

Would you like me to go on? ;D ;D ;D

Good advice, I have had good and bad from ebay current one I must add is good.But this one will need very careful consideration I believe.

Danny,

You don't have the time to do it up and sell.
You don't have space to strip it for parts.
You had a complete nightmare trying to sell yours.

Stay away unless you know for certain it's ONLY got the problems listed and you already have a buyer lined up who will make you a profit :y :y :y

i might still drive up and have a look, but swmbo's told me she'll stab me if i get it anyway ;D
