Title: How about this?
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 17 January 2007, 03:36:34
Firstly, negatives out the way. This seller hasn't got good feedback. But the car itself, in the pictrues actually looks reasonable. I definately wouldn't bid without driving it first, so if anyone thinks it's worth it, I may pop over and have a test run.

Any opinions, and what's it worth?

If you do decide to give it a test drive, let me know. If I'm not doing anything I'll come along if you like......

Looks good imo, mileage is pretty good aswell in comparison to mine being that mine has rolled over 140k and on the same year.

Well I think his expectation on the value is comical...

Plenty of 2.0 estates about. I would pay no more than £250 personally.
It needs a lot of work. Remember, if the EM light is coming on and the exhaust is blowing, this is not a car that has been well looked after!

Agreed - and no engine shts or interior shots  :-/

Personally i wouldnt entertain a seller with that sort of feedback.

However for someone that knows there stuff and needs a load lugger.....okay for a couple of ton.

Im building another house in the summer and i could get a cement mixer into that  ;)

Just re read the add I think the seller is abit misleading in one breathe he mention the exhaust as faulty and another part of the listing the exhaust is in excellent working order.

The engine management light comes on now and again i was told by the previous owner that this had something to do with the upgraded alarm system that has been fitted ,this does not affect the car in any way ,there is also a slight blow coming from the exaust.

MECHANICAL CONDITION - All the tyres, exhaust system, mechanics and battery are in excellent working order. All cars are checked for all fluids and oils before you collect

Not sure what to make of the item but I guess it could make a good little project.
