Plus pointsDrives fine starts on the button still my daily drive till Friday.The MOT is valid till 2nd May out of tax 30th April....ERRRR its also RED anyone interested should email me at [email protected] or call 07743354207 Nuneaton based near COV for those interested Price 250 of your finest £1 coins....
cort16 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 You can still buy wheel arch repair panels for these. I just thought I'd throw that in there.
KruJoe Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Sounds like it just needs a pair of disks and tyres for the test.Why not throw £100 on those and the ticket, you'd easily double its value... or is it too much of a PITA to do?
pbottomley Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 from the prices i see on ebay its not worth the effort, spend £100 notes and still only sell it for £350, so why bother... However if someone were keeping it to use themselves then yes its worth spunking £100 notes on it.. As i have a new shite box (VW Passat Tdi) I have no need of this car, its off to the bridge on Monday now less what ever parts i can grab off it i can resell....
pbottomley Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 Took it for a MOT and as expected it failed .. two tyres, four roll bar drop links, one bulb and disc pads.... the rest is advisory (shockers slight weep and worn roll bar bushes)... I am now back home after a flying stop at tyre shop and parts places. I now have all the parts to get a ticket on the car and am £150 lighter... This afternoon I will get the tyres fitted, the roll bar links and pads fitted pop back up the MOT station for a retest and bobs me uncle So now its worth £350 which is the scrap value and the cost of the MOT, some parts and £25 for my effort... surely someone wants it with 12 months ticket on it? Its taxed till Tuesday so be quick!
Negative Creep Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Always thought these were smart looking cars. Glad it's being saved!
pbottomley Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 Right new roll bar drop links on all around, rear brake pads fitted and two tyres now fitted, been for a test drive, and its much better than it ever was before LOL. Ironic as its for sale... Monday I will get the MOT redone and that's gives it one days worth of road tax left to drive it home
pbottomley Posted April 29, 2013 Author Posted April 29, 2013 Now with the promised 12 months MOT Ticket...fresh off the printer less that 15 minutes ago......
gtd2000 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Always thought these were smart looking cars. Glad it's being saved! Ditto!
