cort16 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Listen up Y'all it's a SAABotage. £295 with an MOT http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201305096677913/ 1.6 Cav looks sweet for £295 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201309188840933 OMG ega. Admittedly these 2.2's are meant to be shit on fuel. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201303225905359 Nissan Primera, loaded with Pussyhttp://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201309148791449 55 Plate Kia M/Vagentis with crippling autobox - £300 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201309178819687 54 Plate Proton Impian - Not B Reg. This actually looks pretty decent for £340 and is solid gold shite. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201307308065133
RobT Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 The 600 would be my choice out of that lot. For one thing, dull Jap interiors can't compete with a nicely appointed Rover one IMO. Two hours spent inside a 623GSi every day would be a pleasure!
Junkman Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 OMGRWDDRFTWEPON: http://autoshite.com/topic/14753-l-reg-20-carlton-cdx-auto/Also, didn't someone here try to sell a 405 2.0 executive?
M'coli Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Are any of these available at that price with cruise control?
dollywobbler Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 The 600 would be my choice out of that lot. For one thing, dull Jap interiors can't compete with a nicely appointed Rover one IMO. Two hours spent inside a 623GSi every day would be a pleasure! Ditto. I really must own one. They're on the cusp of classic insurance, so I'm sure it won't be long. I like Honda engineering, I like Rover class. Winning combo. 40mpg? My BX 16v managed it (once), my 2.3-litre Saab 9000 an impressive 34 on average, and I'm no dawdler.

dollywobbler Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Are any of these available at that price with cruise control? The Rover 600 certainly was in GSi form.
Jim Bergerac Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 These are ace- I had a V6 one and it was surprisingly excellent. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hyundai-Sonata-2-0-auto-CD-AUTOMATIC-/121148261924?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c34ffc624 For some reason I've always liked these in this generation. I think it is because they looked so awful. Same with the Leganza. eddyramrod 1
Faker Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Primera Sri. 2.0 16v twin cam weapon. Owned one and really loved the thing. However you are never going to better 30mpg to be honest.

Ghosty Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 What about the £250 Cav and £200 Vectra CD in the eBay thread? Cavcraft 1

Mr_Bo11ox Posted September 27, 2013 Author Posted September 27, 2013 Blimey some qualz suggestions coming out the mondeo dashboard 'wood' work
mouseflakes Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Maybe too obvious, but this looks nice (bang on budget and only 75k - not sure it'll do 40mpg)... http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/citroen-xanthia-sx-auto-20-petrol/1030697319
Mr_Bo11ox Posted September 27, 2013 Author Posted September 27, 2013 Hmm, that sold on eBay about a week ago, I was watching it!
Doctormop Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Desperately trying to think of my own wildcard suggestion here so how about...... An early Toyota Avensis.....................................1.8 or 2.0, lots of toys, disgustingly reliable and easily mistaken for an unlicensed minicab, does it get any better?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Avensis-1-8-GS-ESTATE-1998-S-REG-FULL-12-MONTHS-MOT-TAXED-/200950282441?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2ec991f8c9
garbaldy Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 3 pages and not a mention of these yet.buy this and blend in to the scenery they really are off the radarhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/carisma-gls-gdi-/281173513688?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item41773f55d8
Bren Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Rover 600 = win. I had a very early (jan 94) 620i on an L plate. Povo spec - elec front windows, glass sunroof, cental locking. Some povo spec ones dont have folding rear seats which can be a PITA when you need to go to B&Q. Later cars dont suffer with crusty arches like the early ones - this is why mine got moved on. Got up to 38 mpg on a run - car got a bit ragged when driven quickly over uneven surfaces. Regularly broke courtesy light switches because they are so substantial. Have you considered a 2.0 laguna with a manual box - the ones up to X reg? I had one with the auto - the box was the only bad thing on the car. For even greater win, what about a granada with the twink I4 engine? Prices at rock bottom, even on retro rides.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted September 27, 2013 Author Posted September 27, 2013 Dont think I could face a Carisma although I wouldnt mind trying that GDi engine, i hear its a bit cantankerous but capable of good MPG's. Are these basically a shit-looking Volvo S40?

Utterly reliable, but more boring than being stuck in a lift for a week with Jeremy Clarkson and being forced to listen to U2 records.
HillmanImp Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 These are ace- I had a V6 one and it was surprisingly excellent. Fuck me thats ugly. I am not saying I wouldn't but it would only be at 1.50 am and because it all the fitter ones were already taken. garethj 1
Barry Cade Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Dont think I could face a Carisma although I wouldnt mind trying that GDi engine, i hear its a bit cantankerous but capable of good MPG's. Are these basically a shit-looking Volvo S40? Do some googling on GDi's... dekokes and walnuts shells may feature, as well as Volvo warranty claims......
2Thumbs Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I know you'd prefer a 2.0. But 1.8 8v Cavalier's are bomb proof, and you should get 35mpg out of it.
