Sold OMG HIGH'N'DRY ACCIDENT... Hyundai Accent £SOLD

[mattywatsit]

Hi All,

 

This car has quite a story (as you will see in the pictures...) I will start by what it is though:

 

Model: Hyundai Accent 1.3i 12V GS

Year: 2000 (X)

Mileage: 88,000

MOT: 12months!

Pics: (Lots, below....)

Location: Sunderland, Tyne & Wear

Price: £395

Contact details: Matt on 07455159581

 

So here goes!... I bought POSH (Piece Of $***e Hyundai) in February with the intention of teaching my OH to drive; whilst having something unusual to use now and again. I had the car two days and the clutch went! I was unsure what to do, but was strangely attracted to it and decided fixing it was the only way forward!... Fast forward a few days the gearbox was out and I found a new box would be a good idea due to a bell housing crack - again I should have maybe given up but I decided NO! I would continue to fix... skip another few days and I had a donor car for £100 to get a gearbox (and other bits...) from.

 

The car came to me with a cracked front bumper and dented passenger wing due to a 'bump' with another car by the previous owner, not significant but I decided as the panels were nice on the donor car id have them! Equally the bonnet had something dropped onto it by pervious owner when in a garage, so I changed that too... everything went back together and with a small service the car was running as new and pressed straight into action!

 

Fast forward to just a few days ago - MOT was due, there was a slight exhaust leak from the front Flexi so I decided to change the whole front exhaust section as they are so cheap at circa £30! then 12months test was easily obtained!

 

I have now decided to put my OH on my daily (boring Focus) and teach her in that... sell POSH and get something more retro again.

 

To summerise:

- Recon Gearbox

- New Clutch kit

- New Gearbox oil

- New clutch fluid

- New (recon) starter motor

- New rear wheel bearing (N/SR)

- New Exhaust front section

- Full service (Oil, Coolant and filters)

- 4 Near New Tyres (All same make)

- CD player

- Electric Windows

- 12months MOT

- Not one, but two spare wheels! (and a full set of spare wheel nuts...)

- Unique styling!....

- Can come with a gazillion spares also! (Lights, Clocks, Mirrors, Trims etc etc.... off the donor car)

 

All it needs is the front end painting to match the back, or like me - leave it looking like a bad cut and shut! It does have some marks (what 15yr old car doesn't?) however no rust at all! and it is absolutely solid underneath and will provide you with at least 12months easy cheap motoring!

 

Will also potentially come with just under half a tank of fuel!...

 

£Offers - Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It actually owes me £518, so someone is going to get a bargain as all of the niggles have been removed - couple of advisories for the future but the MOT tester was very complimentary.

 

Will PX (potentially either way) with something retro.....

 

Cheers,

Matthew

That's so bad, it's appallingly brilliant. Anywhere between 0 and 100 out of 10. 

[trigger]

That paintwork needs preserving!

[barefoot]

How fast does it go mister?

[mattywatsit]

A million miles per hour!.....

 

Sadly not, but is pretty pokey for a 1.35 SOHC 12v lump... certainly keeps up at motorway speeds.

[Christine]

Hard as nails    

[cort16]

It's almost more appealing in two tone

[DVee8]

That is a great colour combo and must be left as is.

 

Oh and welcome along.

[Jim Bell]

I would have had that Matt. But I've just bought my old 309 back. Timing is not great.

GLWTS.

[New POD]

certainly keeps up at motorway speeds.

 

 

Will it do 60 ?

[HH-R]

They're quite nippy, not bad at all.

 

I wish I'd seen this a month ago as it would have been a GR9 work hack.

[UltraWomble]

This is the best colour scheme of eVah.

GLWTS.

[Skizzer]

That is mingebag motoring at its finest - well done, good luck with the sale, and welcome.

 

certainly keeps up at motorway speeds.

 

[mattywatsit]

Will it do 60 ?

 

It will do the legal 70 with ease... but of course I can't talk of any speeds beyond that which it won't will easily do also!

 

Thanks for all the comments! I have been a reader for a long time but not posted until now!

 

Ben - that 309 was a beaut, well worth buying back!

[tooSavvy]

Impressive 'thinking mans' alternative VAG purchase.

 

Get an ALDI leather key fob.. Yool B made!

[oldcars]

Tide mark of a winner right there.

[Partridge]

Wow, Doom Blue AND Jewish racing gold. Two desirable* colour schemes in one.

[Jim Bell]

It's so amazing. I should buy it buy the street is full of shit at the minute we have too many cars.

[mattywatsit]

Someone must want this fine piece of two-tone Korean Automobile?!....

 

Spares that can come included are:

• 2x Headlights
• 2x Rear lights
• 3x Wiper arms (+ various blades)
• 2x Driveshafts
• Centre console (with clock and original Cassette!... sexy)
• 4x Genuine wheel trims
• 2x Spare wheels
• Full set of wheel nuts
• A bag of assorted screws/bolts/plastic clips/knobs etc

The above list is not exhaustive, I can even include the original gearbox with awesome cracked bell-housing if one would wish......

 

Therefore keeping it going for more than the 12 months MOT for sure! 

 

Space needed for some other automobile shaped shite!

 

Will consider swaps.... no zoo animals, ex-wives, unwanted Christmas presents (unless it was a Ferrari?...) or your Nan!.....

I like this car, it's making my Frontera and elastic band Punto seem fabulous buys.
