bramz7 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 This has been a very dependable tool in the past few weeks but I've managed to dibs something I wanted when it first came up for sale, then missed out on, so this has got to go to make room for it. The details: 191,750 miles on the clock, but it drives far better than you'd think. Will go up as current daily.Tidy inside, and now sporting fetching green mats from a certain fucked (and soon to be gone) Citroen. Great on fuel. I reckon you could do about 800 miles to a tank of motorway driving. Good stereo, OEM fit but it sounds brill.Brilliant heater and working air con.Everything seems to work....Arm rests! Not so good-Rough body, no paint issues so to speak ( a dab of retouch) but a few dings and marks on the corners, including a missing chrome insert on drivers side front bumper.Steering wheel shows the mileage.Handbrake is rubbish!No service history, but knowing the previous owner, it will be a good 'un, it definitely drives like it's been treated well. No smoke!!! Previous MOT said it had an oil leak, dunno about that as it's not dripped any. Doesn't seem to make any odd noises. I took it 1000 miles a few weekends ago and it was flawless, no issues and nothing weird.Clutch is reasonable. No slip. Way better than the bang style clutch of the 156.Tyres are alright, not new but reasonable as well. I only have the one photo as it being parked outside covers it in tree sap and bird poo, whoever buys it will be treated to it being cleaned. As seen at the 'Small Glen' near Aberfeldy. But in reality, it's in Basingstoke. Delivery may be possible if it fits my plans. Available from next week, roughly Wednesday or so onwards. It does have a tow ball. willswitchengage, davehedgehog31 and stephen01 3
95 quid Peugeot Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Just to confirm. This was mine. When I bought it there was a shed load of history and a pyramid of bills for stuff done. Mrs 95s son had it off me for a few months. I'll try and grab the stuff off him if it's findable in the shit tip of his room. I think there's also a couple of spare keys. If I hadn't got flat4alfas dad's C5 I would still have this. Well recommended purchase beko1987 1
Rocket88 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I shall not express an interest..............if I do, it will explode..........
Fabergé Greggs Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Ahhh crumbs. Anyone ever get something like this on a FJ policy?
pandamonium Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Ah. Feck. Need to talk to insurance company and sell the Wagon R. I suspect one of those tasks may be more painful than the other.
clayts450 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Deffo on my bucket list, a 406 estate. Timing poor however due to impulse purchase on Sunday. GLWTS
beko1987 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 This would save me a winter of rattling about in the Laguna, your close to me and I could pull £275 out of my overdraft in about 3 seconds... Grrrr I hate you putting stuff up for sale, your too bloody close! The only problem is it would hold a shit load of vacuums, I had that problem with the Xantia, it just became a shed (despite already being one) egg and oldcars 2
skattrd Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Just a thought, but the way your luck goes bramz can you not hold on to this for a bit until you find you're happy with it's replacement? beko1987, BorniteIdentity and The Moog 3
beko1987 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Mmmmmm Bramz, you might haz a PM coming... It puts my insurance up to £70 a month, but thats up for renewal in Feb, so 2 months left... ASM will give me £204 for the gooner if I drive it to them, which is more than do-able... Amy even smiled and didnt say no... But as Skattrd rightly says, I'll feel bad if your track record holds true...
SierraMikeHotel Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I'm looking at some cars on Friday. If I don't like any of them can I have this one instead please. What's that across the top of the grille?

jon.k Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 That is such good value! Makes me kind of want my current £200 banger to expire so I can get another 406... but that would be a bit of a false economy!
beko1987 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 £70 a month for insurance? fark me Sent from my TA-1012 using TapatalkOnly due to being changed so close to the end of the policy I think, I did a fresh meerkat just because I was curious and it went back to the same monthlies as the gooner currently is £55, because I R a speeder and live in beiruit apparently even with 9 years no claims They_all_do_that_sir 1
beko1987 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Yoink! You sure you don't want a deposit or the funds now bramz? loserone 1
RobT Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I've been a passenger in this today, and GIB someone. Considering the miles the interior is very clean, and there's no untoward noises or anything. I don't like dizzlers generally but the HDi engine is very quiet compared to the clattery old XUD. beko1987 1
beko1987 Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 I have GIB Rob, and I am very excited! Fabergé Greggs, RobT, oldcars and 3 others 6

beko1987 Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 It's amazing how all the knocks and bangs in a car that used to be in the back of one's mind vanish suddenly when you know you haven't got to live with them for much longer!
95 quid Peugeot Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 BekoIf you pm me your details I'll send across whatever I can find It was a good pile of paperwork.

bramz7 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Posted October 25, 2018 It's easier to give you my postcode as even delivery drivers have no idea where the house is.
beko1987 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Yea, only 51 houses to choose from in your postcode! Saying that all we have to do is drive up the road until we see the French chod and we have arrived! RobT 1
beko1987 Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Hot off the press, collection is tomorrow! insurance starts at midnight, they only increased my premium to £63 a month from £45 for the rest of the policy, plus a £25 admin charge... Will have to suck that up until feb when it's due for renewal. Must be the extra 127cc of RAW POWAH! (gooner is 1870, 406 is 1997) Have PM'd Bramz asking for the number on the new keepers slip and I'll tax it later, then collect it tomorrow! Quite handy as the gooner has 70 miles of diesel left, I don't have to put any in for next week. oldcars, Craig the Princess and The Moog 3
