320touring Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 My brother has just finished his e30 project, and is now looking to get shot of his Octavia. As owned and driven for the last year or so, Has had a couple of services and has been a useful beater about the place. Good stuff - Taxed to the end of June and motd to October. has 5 decent tyres, air con is working brilliantly, very economical- he sees 55-60mpg, and from light on to 1/2 tank is £20! comfortable and practical too- ideal for load lugging, and comes with the load cover blind Central locking works Happy to much veg oil or biodiesel As you'd expect of a car of this age there are issues.It will require a new window wiper motor- currently has the passenger side one clearing all of the screenonly the driver's electric window works.There are various scratches on the body work with rust on the front passenger wing and the lacquer is peeling on the bonnet.Rear wiper deleteOpen to offers- He's been offered £200 by the scrappy, so looking for offers a wee bit above that. Car is in Glasgow. If no sale/deposit in the next day or two, It'll have to go the scrapper as he cant have it sitting at his home Thanks Pics Why single wiper? because RACECAR! and no, the avensis and A4 are not ours or for sale:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilko220 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Even with the faults, that looks VALU for 200 notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Norman Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Saw that at last Wednesday's Scotoshite meet, looks a decent old bus.I assume he'd rather get a wee bit over £200 if he could, but even at £300 it would still be a good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortinaDave Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Im thinking of taking a run down to northwich in Cheshire on saturday to pick up that MG ZT. Any North West Shiters fancy this skoda? I could drive it to northwich, pick up the MG and meet you there or abouts, saving me a fortune in train fares to get down and giving you free delivery of a cheap skoda. Any takers?

Largactil Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I really shouldn't ask... But what sort of mileage has this covered, and has it ever had a timing belt / water pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Cortina dave cheers for the offer! Re timing belt water pump no idea when last done.no overheating or bearing noises from the pump It's on 199k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dome Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It's tempting but a £200 car rapidly becomes £400 once I tax and insure it and cash is a bit tight just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortinaDave Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Could be a goer for Northwich tomorrow if you want it ... I was waiting for the place with that ZT to get back to me about a couple of questions which they havent yet but i can give them a phone. Driving down the skoda is much cheaper than me getting a train for me and the mrs or taking a car down and having to drive it back up as well, so could work well all round. As long as you insured it Id be covered on the DOC extension of my policy too so happy days Let me know if you're keen so I can check im defo taking that MG. Tax is only a few days out.. Should be alright surely?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
