sierraman Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Oh come on... it’s just passed the MOT.

sierraman Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It does look good but put it this way, it’s on at scrap value, worst case scenario and it shits it’s clutch on the way home you haven’t lost anything. I scrap stuff now because I’ve not got the time for fannying around with people who really shouldn’t be buying cheap cars. Last car I had for sale at £400, the guy that turned up wanted some money knocking off as there was some trim missing from the base of the bumper and the parcel shelf had seen better days, I’m not talking £20-50 off it. Because of these ‘faults’ he wanted it for £200. I decided then I could save myself the time, effort and irritation of dealing with that by weighing the fuckers in now for much the same money.

aldo135 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 These cars drive so well, loved my 120. As mentioned above with the scrap value just now it's almost free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthbay Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Serious question, has anyone managed to get one of these on classic insurance? I know it’s a bit young but some makes seem able to escape that a bit. I would love to save it but getting quotes of £390 for insurance kills it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djoptix Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The 101. You mean it's not the 180bhp V6? With only 12, not 13 months MOT? And you want £150 for that? Fuck off. Lacquer Peel, clayts450, sierraman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Bloke Next Door Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I've always fancied one of these, if you can drive it to Hednesford WS 12, 38 miles I'll have it, will also pay your fuel costs. Can't collect myself at the moment, due to no spare time and other excuses before January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Hunt Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Shame we don't operate under old VED Rules, could have asked for 12 Months tax on it thrown in, as opposed to just taxed to get you home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltox Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I’m guessing red5 put this through a MOT and doesn’t use a bent tester, being an upstanding type of chap. Can someone just buy it already Cavcraft and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthbay Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It clatters, like a tractor. Just at idle or throughout the rev range? If it’s just at idle it’s not much of a problem anyway is it? My V70 sounds like a tractor at tickover but fine 100 revs more and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitsisigma01 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I don't know any bent mot testers but have been amazed by some cars that have passed and others that look immaculate and have shitloads of money thrown at them and yet they fail every year , quite often in the same mot station , so an enquiry about a floorpan seemed like quite a valid question.... obviously not to some !

Tamworthbay Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Jeez, let it rest, it’s a bargain at £150. Effectively free when you take scrap value into consideration. Red5 could makes as much/ more money by bridging it and have zero hassle. We need to be grateful that there are people on here who would rather save a car like this by offering it stupidly cheap.

Lacquer Peel Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The floorpan advisory is quite common for these cars, it sounds bad but isn't that bad. I have been on the lookout for an L series motor but I don't fancy any car jobs at all just now, even topping up the washer fluid is a chore. GLWTS, it's practically free FFS!
