MarinaJosh Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Some of you have probably already seen this on FB, eBay etc but thought I had better stick an ad up here. Shamelessly copied blurb:We bought this late last year for my partner to use everyday, but she has since replaced it with a 1.6 Meridian. I bought it from her in January and used it everyday myself but I have now bought a D Turbo so this one is surplus to requirements. As much as I'd love to keep it with several other cars I know it would just sit around unused! Between us we have covered about 10k miles in it with no issues whatsoever. Before us I believe it was owned by one family and passed between them. It still has it's original dealer plates, sticker and key fob along with the original Mardi Gras floor mats, sunroof sticker etc. When we got it it was treated to a new (Gates) cambelt and waterpump, spark plugs, filters etc. It is now due another oil and filter change which will be done before it goes (Now done). The bodywork is in good condition, the only bits worth mentioning are a crease on the driver's door (happened in a supermarket car park!) and the passenger side sill is dented and has a small area which appears to have been poorly resprayed. There's a few other very small dents here and there. The rest of the Miami Blue paintwork is in very good condition. It sits on a set of Peugeot 405 alloys, one is missing in the pictures as I recently had a puncture so the spare is on. A new tyre will be fitted before it goes and the alloy put back on. It had new Toyos fitted up front last year. I have the original wheel trims which will be included but the original steel wheels have gone. The interior is in excellent condition. A CD player from a later 306 has been fitted but the original radio/cassette is included.It drives very well. The little TU engine is surprisingly revvy but economical too. The size of the engine bay means it is ridiculously easy to work on as well. These early 306s are quite hard to find now, especially in such original condition with low miles. Will be very sad to see this one go! It's up for £550 everywhere else but I'd take £450 from a fellow Shiter.

KruJoe Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 FFS I'd love this.Cla$$ic insurance friendly, and low tax band too. But Suffolk though? If you tell me it has PAS, I'll be checking with the Mrs that this is still her favourite colour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinaJosh Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Sadly no PAS, which is why my girlfriend ended up with a Meridian, she has a bad back and struggled with it a bit! KruJoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Sadly no PAS I had a BX with the same engine as this, and didn't find it heavy without the assistance, but Mrs_KJ would have also been driving this, and she'd need it I think.Shame.I'd just noticed the sexy manual windows, too. So I'm out for now, but if it roffles, I'd take a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinaJosh Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yeah I never had a problem with it either, no heavier than my 309 without PAS was, but then again I am a fine specimen of a man. It's a proper special edition- boggo spec with a tilting sunroof and some tacky graphics. I love it, but I just know it would sit in the unit and never get used again if I kept it.

RoadworkUK Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Free bump because these are spectacularly brilliant. My wife's is mechanically identical to this and - over 155k miles - it's been more dependable than our cutlery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Very nice indeed. I recall when these first came out, was a bit meh. Found it hard to drive 'cos narrow pedal space and big feet, although more likely a large size doc martin issue than anything else tbh. Roffle??

SierraMikeHotel Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I'm very, very tempted by this... Really must wait until after we move though! Might be interested if it's still available then, or I would definitely buy a roffle ticket or two. I had a ZX with no power steering and had no problem at all with it, although my girlfriend at that time wasn't keen. Likewise, she had back problems.
