Swap 2000 Daewoo Lanos 1.3 SE

[uk_senator]

1 owner from new who`s just having to give up driving (he`s in his 80`s & hasnt touched it for 2 months).

 

Its silver with 5 opening doors. reasonably tidy for a giffermobile, with the usual bumper corner scuffs, but pretty minty for the most part, even still wearing at least 2 of its Daewoo wheel trims intact (I`ve only seen it from the drivers side).

 

MOT till December, done 85,000 (has only done a few hundred miles a year for the last 5 years, its literally been the once or twice a month to go shopping), has been well looked after, never broken down apparently, but no service history as such (he cant even find the log book at the moment, but it should turn up).

 

Advisory's at last MOT:

Rear exhaust system rusty (£35 off ebay)

Front to rear fuel lines rusty (a few quid at motor factors)

Both front drop link bushes perishing (complete links with bushes £6 a side)

Both rear shocks rusty (£26 a pair)

Front and rear coil springs rusty (£6 for a smoothrite aerosol)

Both front wishbone bushes perishing (bushes £6-7 each, ball joints, £6 & bolt on)

 

Remember, its Astra based, so easy to work on & cheap as chips to do.

 

Runs fine, got years in it if you get on with the advisories over the coming year.

 

Will be picking it up next week, offers around the £395 mark, or will swap for a reliable sub 1549cc Japanese automatic with similar amount of ticket. A Civic/Concerto would be ideal.

 

Would also swap for an MOT`d Panda (classic or modern), Uno, 1.4 Tipo, Tempra SW, 1.2-1.4 Punto, 1.2 Bravo/Brava, Cinq/Sei Sporting or similar.

 

Located in Barnet, north London.

 

I might be able to get pics tomorrow if I get time.

It is, I`m almost tempted to keep it to use as an `I dont give a monkeys what happens to it` shlepper.

I liked the one we had. Nowt wrong with these. Like a better Corsa.

[uk_senator]

Its bound to be all very inoffensive & reliable, its just I like my motors more rawcus. That said I`ll probably drive it for a few days to see if I could live with it.

A better Corsa is any car that isn't a Corsa.
