Shite required this weekend now sorted - new shite inside!

[pandamonium]

Due to the impending sale of my Micra, and the ever impending baby Pandamonium, I am going to need a new car.

I need it to be a 5 seater of average size, with rear seatbelts.

I need MOT and tax for around 5 months - will accept less if decent.

 

That is all. Anyone have anything?

 

Or seen anything interesting?

 

Cheers, Alan

[R9UKE]

Whereabouts are you? I might be able to make some ridiculous suggestions from my ebay watch list.

[pandamonium]

Ah, forgot that bit - must be within half an hour of my place - Hadleigh, Essex.

 

My missus is ready to drop the baby and I don't think it'd go down well if I was miles away on some tat-buying mission while she was giving birth!!!

[Cavcraft]

It wouldn't be Autoshite if someone didn't make a totally hopeless suggestion.

 

How about a BMW convertible?

[R9UKE]

How about a BMW convertible?

 

LMAO. One with Jeremy Kyle style M3 wing mirrors by any chance?

[Station]

Lol!

How about an 2009 F1 racing car. $1,500,000. Located in Dubai. Needs a bit of work.

 

I'd offer my Skoda but I'm too far away.

1972 Ford Granada? In Cyprus?

[trigger]

Get someone to collect Pandaloopys Saab for you! Save us all the grief of seeing it on RR forever!

[Station]

I'll end up buying that, I know I will, just like his Porsche.

[messerschmitt owner]

have a G plate 1990 BX 16 Auto in the car port!

 

47800 miles, three owner, auto, metallic grey

 

MoT'd till April, not taxed but could tax for six months at cost (done 800 miles since last MoT). Needs an exhaust but is working just fine at the moment with the bean can repair - new zorst about £70 mail order for NOS Citroen one from Bourne Citroen

 

everything works, has giffer dings, rear ns door dented but new door supplied. No spare wheel - it never came with one. Would deliver part of the way.

 

£400 as is, plus 6 months tax at cost and bus fair back to Gloucester from where we meet up.

[pandamonium]

Sounds great, but at the amount I'm selling the Micra for, I doubt I could stretch to that. Should have mentioned that my budget is around £400.

 

And no, I do not want the PandaSelecta Saab. It looks rotten!

[Cavcraft]

Can't you get Auto5 to examine the SAAB for you?

[messerschmitt owner]

the BX isn't rotten - it's great in every bad BX area! And it doesn't have a clutch pedal for the pedal box to break next to.

 

It'd be about £525 all in inc the tax - I'll forgo the bus fare back home.

Has fetching red and grey tweed upholstery and keep fit windows in the back.

[pandamonium]

Can't you get Auto5 to examine the SAAB for you?

No - just no.

 

I like Chris (PS), and get on well with him, but wouldn't buy one of his cars.

Still about £30 more than I can manage, sorry.

[catsinthewelder]

You could probably shiply DW's 309 accross and still be within budget

[Angrydicky]

Sorry, the only thing I have at the moment is a Vauxhall Victor that will be a bit over budget!

 

Might be worth having a nose round the cars for sale in Kirbys, there's bound to be one or two with a bit of MOT left.

[hairnet]

309 ftw

[R9UKE]

Gah. If I were anywhere near you the S70 probably would have suited. It'll have a full MOT next week and then through auction with a £350 reserve.

 

But - MOT until October, tax until May. Hood doesn't work AND it's got 192k - shite

[Shep Shepherd]

Canvey Trade Cars has a nice W-reg Xantia 2.0 SX hatchback in stock at the moment, but it's up for £595...

[Torsten2001]

In the Dungeon is a W reg Vauxhall Vectra with a bit of MOT, that would be £250

[pandamonium]

Might be interested in that Vectra, but not for me - for my friend.

 

Could you send me the reg number for insurance quotes?

[Torsten2001]

[pandamonium]

Job done!

 

£450 of your finest english pounds, and has 11 months MOT and 5 months tax

13000 miles, so just run in.

 

Result!

[eddyramrod]

Another result! Good man yerself, as they say somewhere or other. Certainly seems to be w124 day today!

[Shep Shepherd]

WIN!

[Cavcraft]

 

Sadly I like that. Where abouts is this dungeon you speak of?

[retrogeezer]

Mr T is down in the big smoke Billy. Calendar arrived safely yesterday by the way - thanks again for sorting it.

[wackywacerwill]

 

Nice, very nice and kinda familiar too. Sure I've seen it somewhere before, where did you pick it up from?

[pandamonium]

Just round the corner from me, but you've probably seen it for sale on RR since last September.
