For Fiats Sake Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Okay well I really don't want to put this on eBay and have to deal with the mongs on there so I'm offering my much loved*Fiat Panda 4x4 for sale herel. History of the car is that I bought it 2 years ago with my winnings from a Christmas job whilst I lived with my Mum after Dad passed away the previous year.It came from a farm and had been driven to the scrap yard that offered it for sale on eBay. I bought it sight unseen mainly because I liked the colour and was desperate to have a 4x4 after going off road with the Panda guys during the previous year.I had it trailered to me and put on the drive. Mum wasn't impressed as it was pretty rough looking and I had a classic panda and a mk3 on the drive already. I remember her saying it made the place look like a scrap yard and I had two months to get rid of it. Unfortunately Mum became ill and died within three weeks, the bungalow we shared (which was half mine) needed to be sold to pay off the other siblings and I didn't want to have to do all the viewings and have said siblings rifling through everything whilst I was there. I quickly arranged a rental and work transfer to Halifax and arranged for a friend of a friend to take the 4x4 away (it had an elapsed mot and needed more than a wipe over with a damp cloth) to sort it out. That was a year last June. Anyway time passed and the bungalow was sold, I bought and renovated my own bungalow and became a serial Panda buyer, which included a bright orange panda 4x4. Every so often I would nudge my mate to see what was going on with the blue one but it didn't matter as I was surrounding with Panda chod and having a high old time with the fleet. Eventually the car was delivered back to me with an MOT, the rusty bits sorted and a bill twice as much as estimated. It's sat on my front garden ever since. It is in perfect working order but was repaired as an off roading car so no fancy gimmicks just good repairs, good second hand bits where new couldn't be had and put together for use not ornament. I haven't the heart to do anything more to it, I can provide alternative seats and a new bumper for the rear if needs be. I just want rid of it now and although it's cost me the thick end of 2k to buy and sort I'm willing to let it go for a shitters price of £990. There's a thread on it on the Fiat Forum Classic Panda Section - LVJ the scrap yard panda. It is also advertised there and on Facebook. The average price these sell for is 1200-1500 with an MOT so it is seriously cheap but as I say, I need to get shot of this ghost from the past. Car first registered 29/12/1988 103k miles 3 previous owners MOT until 11/10/2016 Cheers John http://www.fiatforum.com/members-motors/338959-lvj-scrap-yard-4x4.html Anthony30, Lacquer Peel, drum and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Fiats Sake Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 SOLD! Call last night and came this afternoon and after a test drive of random noises and failing to start when warm they bought it anyway! It was very cheap though, I never even got chance to take a goodbye photo as I had to go to work whilst the buyer was sorting out tax on the phone. I am the worlds worst car dealer though, lost as much as I got for it DodgyBastard and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
