Sold outright, 2007 Tacuma, Lake District

The Motability car comes on Tuesday so I thought it was time to open this up.  So, what are you getting for your hard-earned?

 

2007 (57) Chevrolet Tacuma CDX+, 2.0 petrol auto.

Mot July

Taxed as Disabled

Bought it in 2013 (see my Car Trek thread here http://autoshite.com/topic/13740-car-trek/page-2) and really, it's done nothing to write about since then.  It's just been a jolly good car.  Oh the two front tyres were new a few weeks ago.  Got a matching full-size spare, at vast expense, but I'll give you the spacesaver as well, obvs.

 

Bad points

Minor scuffs here and there, but seriously, very minor

Tailgate latch is a bit sticky, in that when you open it, the handle doesn't return so you need to do it manually.  Bit of WD would probably solve that, but I've just been living with it

Intermittent wipe doesn't work.  The wipers may or may not move up the screen a bit, but are very unlikely to come down.  Put it on constant speed and they're fine, although self-park is a bit haphazard.

 

And really... that's it.  It's a nice car to do long-distance in, we've done several trips of 400 miles each way.  It isn't the most economical but it's acceptable.

 

Aftermarket reversing sensors fitted, and working.

 

Autoshite sticker in rear window!  £1.50 saved already.

It was this that killed these off as a viable family car. I had a 2001 model, and although it was just a Cavalier in a fat suit it was perfectly acceptable transport, ok to drive too.

 

One random for me.

As in Cavalier/Vectra suspension underneath...?

 

Hello mama.

Jesus, what have I done. Just looked at the tax rate :)

 

 

Irrelevant when the car costs a tenner.

Exactly!

 

Shocking. Therefore 2 ransoms please.

BTW where is it

 

 

Whereabouts in the country are you Mr Eddyramrod?

Oop norf.  Sorry, should have mentioned that.  Bottom-left corner of the Lake District.
