The scam E Type listing has already been pulled.

 

That'll be me reporting the faggots.

[trigger]

Anybody looked at the finance deal on that Fiesta, Makes the guy with the car sales site in Leigh on sea look like a charity shop.

 

£799.50 Deposit +

 

£301.90 first payment +

 

58 x monthly payments of £152.90 +

 

and a £301.90 final payment =

 

leaving a £10,271.50 total payable, for a average looking 1100 Fiesta!

[Alexg]

^ No finance company will accept that proposal! Most will only lend a maximum of 10/20% above Glasses guide value anyway..

[CreepingJesus]

Maybe not as jaw-dropping as some of the 'offers' in this thread, but this made me giggle:

 

 

This bumper selection box of CZ bits, including an engine with pitted output shafts, rusty clutch plates, some random rusty crap, and - the piece de resistance - half an axle stand. All yours to live the dream of Czechoslovakian motorcycling for only £145.99.

To be fair, there is a 'best offer' available on it, but I don't think 'fuck all' counts as an offer.

[John F]

^ My favourite picture in that CZ parts lot has to be the one of the top half of the axle stand... I genuinely suspect the seller thinks it might be part of the bike engine.

 

Which is worth about £6.37p in total, at current scrap value.

[cobblers]

the piece de resistance - half an axle stand.

 

 

I had a bloke at a VW show last year claiming a trolley jack handle was part of the gear linkage for a T25 van

Expect to see this one run and run

[Angrydicky]

Krujoe's got one.

 

[RedSparrow]

What does the '14' denote? Or does he mean 1.4?

Either way most of us will see at least a couple of these a week in the UK.

[Cavcraft]

Yep, 14 denotes a 1.4. Just to help* matters some (diesel) BXs were badged as TGD but the T didn't stand for turbo, it was a trim option iirc. Never had a 1.4 but here they are surprisingly good to drive and pretty mega on fuel as well.

[meggersdog]

yeah it's BX14 and it does mean engine size.BX16,BX17 and BX19 are all engine sizes.

 

edit : beaten to it by a Cavalier expert.

[RedSparrow]

THNX GUISE.

 

Anyone going to start a bidding war on this one then?!

[richardthestag]

My bro had a bx14 in the mid 1980's I am pretty sure it was y reg which would have made it an early one, had thunderbirds dash which was ace and it was baby blue.

 

He drove the arse of it and it somehow managed to keep up with him pretty well.

[dollywobbler]

Don't think we got any BXs earlier than an A plate. A 14 is super povo spec! Most BXs at least have some sort of trim level after the numbers. Actual value probably £300 if I'm being generous.

Except the BX17 was puzzling a 1.8

[Cheggers]

Hmmm...the mysterious bid seems to have disappeared

[willswitchengage]

You can retract bids?? PLEASE somebody do this to Mr 405 man!

You do need a genuine reason (aliens, dog ate my homework, I didn't know she was only 14 now then now then etc etc)

Apologies for tedious dullness but I suspect they called it a 17 because an 18 seemed pointlessly close to a 19. 1769cc, so the 'round up' rule does apply. Over-ruled by marketing I suspect during a heated, Gallois-fuelled debate. Same engine in a Rover resulted in the 218 badge. I might buy one and change the badge to 217 as a protest and such disrespect of French thinking.

[Richard]

It must be about the only example of rounding down an engine size that should be rounded up. There are enough examples of rounding up- Chrysler Sunbeam 1.0 (928cc), Audi 2.2 (2144cc) and PSA 1.8 (1749cc) are the only ones I can think of offhand but I'm sure there are plenty more.

[oman5]

anything with a rover 3500 V8. I think it was actually 3528cc

[wuvvum]

Renault Twingo / Clio 1.2 - 1149cc

Alfa / Fiat 1.8 - 1747cc
