Who said you can't buy a cheap car now?Now with wing pics!

[fiatdaft]

Yup just bought a taxed and mot'd jaaaag with 106 k and a full service history,just got it home and gave it a quick hoover,hopefully the dry spell will continue tommorow and i can have a better nosey at it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ps the front wings are completely fucked!

[boobydoo]

Jeez! That IS cheap! Whats up with the wings? They look ok in the pics!

[fiatdaft]

Totally rotten,i'll try and take a couple of non iphone pics of them tommorow.

Jeez! That IS cheap! Whats up with the wings? They look ok in the pics!

Who cares?! Ha ha. That is a spectacular buy. Run it for a bit and sell it for more, probably. Well done.

An incredible amount of car for the money, it's amazing how cheap these have become now. Is there much test left on it?

[fiatdaft]

2 months tax and test billy,i'll stick in for an mot next month,if it isn't a bad fail i will hang on to it for a while,if it is a bad fail its getting punted on.

 

The drivers door doesn't open from the inside,there is a little knock coming from the front thats possibly a ball joint or arb link,and the clock doesn't work.

 

The front wings are shocking though!

[Cavcraft]

One million percent 'can't go wrong money' right there mate. Hopefully it'll get through the MOT, I bet it'll be ace snazzing round in that. Mind you even if it dips on shed loads of things it'd break/weigh in for more. Spare wheel looks mint, most seem to have corroded/shed their lacquer ages ago-I've got four or five rough ones here I'm weghing in shortly.

 

Are the wings gaffer-tape-able to get them through the MOT by the way?

[Craig the Princess]

OMG WOT AOUT FULE KAOZ?

 

That looks like a realy goood buy, can't lose with that.

[fiatdaft]

Aye tapeable,i'll take some better pics of the wings the morra,huge rusty water filled blisters like puss filled plukes !

[Timewaster]

What a winner!!

I have been tempted by a few 3.2 sports lately, scruffy ones ebay for £800 ish while Ive seen nice ones at dealers for £3k!

My mate Gav who runs a little village garage has just bought one for £400, but I haven't seen it yet. It will keep his XJS V12 company in the corner of the yard probably.

What a bargain!

[theorganist]

Definately a bargain!

 

Looks pretty good from the pictures.

[Negative Creep]

With fuel prices the way they are, selling one of these things must be a nightmare. But still, what a bargain!

[stuboy]

cheap jaaaaaaaaag

[ashmicro]

CLASS! Well played Sir.

[Split_Pin]

Superb motor for the money!

 

Sod the wings, you wont see them when you are wafting around in that nice interior! I'll look out for you in it!

[eddyramrod]

That is a spectacular buy. Run it for a bit and sell it to Eddy when he lands. Well done.

 

EFA, fucking brilliant, good shot sir!

[CreepingJesus]

Nice one, with bonus 'Appleyard' dealer sticker. That would've been the Ayr branch, given the reg? Don't think they exist anymore do they?

[purplebargeken]

Bargain car. The wings are bolt on and should be obtainable in the same colour as it is a pretty common one. Most of the wings on these cars have the odd ding here and there, it just seems the norm. Ebay has a good few for around £50 per side plus p&p.

 

Clocks never bloody work and replacements never last. Repair is about £20 upwards on the same 'auction site'.

 

I doubt any of the clunk/bump noises will be major. Bushes and TRE's are the most likely culprits and TRE's are not that costly.

 

Excellent car for the money and better put together than the XJ40. One of these is on my 'wish list' for sure.

[Spiny Norman]

Epic value waftage.

 

OMG WOT AOUT FULE KAOZ?

Fill it to the brim, then spend the next month decanting the contents into a Fiat Panda.

[Morgan84]

Stainless steel wheel arch covers here we come !!!

[fiatdaft]

Arrrgh rain !

 

Anyway managed to get a couple of pics of the wings, i reckon they have been painted in the past ,shame as the colour match is good but the prep wasn't.

 

 

 

The colour disguises some of the bubbles ,but they are there!

 

[retrogeezer]

fook, that is some depreciation!! What a bargain motor though...good work.

[Albert Ross]

Looks like it's been pebble-dashed in the first of those 3 pics........
