Shame you can't scrape paint off to reuse it, bet that's a few hundred quid right there.

That Civic is a mega safe bet if you just need transport. Pretty much bulletproof. The 1.5 engine is surprisingly good too. The 1.4 is arse though, don't bother.

£4750 for the one shown on here. $200 is a bargain.

"No title" is the scary bit there.  Oh and then of course shipping it over here, registering it, and fixing the faults...

This forum has genuinely made me think about popping around to the local car dealers on the off-chance that there's a scruffy leggy shitter that's just been P/Xed for all of £50 and saying "I'll drive it off your forecourt today for £60 and you don't ever have to think about sorting it out". I can then de-scruffify it, make it shiney and polished, and I've got a good friendly local mechanic with exceptionally reasonable labour rates who could put right any very minor mechanical ailments...I can then look at finding a friend or family member in desperate need of A-to-B transport and offering it to them for what it owes me.

Or ROFFLing it.

 

I don't want to be come a dealer myself, and I'll never be able to take on proper MOT failures and put them right, but I do love all cars ever (WHY?!) and this would simply give me an excuse to spend a little disposable income and practice cleaning/polishing/fixing interior trim and other stuff I have yet to grow the balls to do (I R WIMP).

 

You can tell this is dangerous and exciting territory for me because I'm carefully justifying everything to you all, whereas you all go "FUCK IT THAT CAR EXISTS THEREFORE I AM BUYING IT", which is, frankly, admirable, and I would like to be like that one day.

 

This all leads me onto THIS:

That Volvo would get me out of trouble ,whilst MrsN's Gatylander off the road, only 25 miles away as well.

Just messaged a cheeky ' £100 pick it up tonite M8 '' to seller.

 

MOT history doesn't look too bad, new brake pipes last year and just a ARB on the back advise.

 

Possible £2.00 a ticket Roffle coming up in a couple of weeks.

Volvo update ; seller messaged that if it doesn't sell, its mine for £100. But, someone bid £150 10 seconds before end, let's see if they make contact or not, I'm not giving up hope yet.

The Bad news :, Air Con not working.

Oh well!

 

Dent in passenger door.

Adds character.

 

Central locking not working.

At least with this model year, Renault still put the key door barrel on the drivers side.

 

Electric sunroof may not be working (too chicken to try it in case it sticks open!). Water leak into passenger footwell interior

Get that sunroof open and use curtain wire to clean the drainage ducts.

 

heat blower not working.

Resistor pack from scrappy.

 

Slight leak around the exhaust manifold.

Cheap gasket or just use some sealer. Worse case again some cheap parts from the scrappy.
