For Sale For sale - Peugeot 305 gtx estate, 75k miles

[John F]

Not mine, it's being sold by someone on the LT forum - see below:

It will be on ebay soon, but if anyone wants me to make an offer via Brickyard for them I can do.

Some interesting opinions on that thread.

 

Pictures, price, MoT status, stuff like that. I'll definitely buy the alloys if there's no further interest.

[Junkman]

With the amount of information available, it's impossible to form an opinion.

One should think that people on a car forum would know that and offer at least some rudimentary idea as to condition and installed propulsion system.

Or remain quiet until they have more information themselves.

 

As we all have seen recently, 305s in the right configuration can command surprisingly stiff money.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I'm interested. Can you tap him up for a phone number or email address?

I've sent him a PM, will let you know when I get a reply.

ALL NON-VWs ARE RUBBISH AND WORTHLESS.

More fool them, hopefully just means Mr Boll or whoever will get it for a song

[AlabamaShrimp]

What a bunch of ignorant wankers on that forum....

[Cavcraft]

I bet they say the same about us.

[Junkman]

Yeah, but they are and we are not.

[wuvvum]

I think the GTX's were all 1905cc carb, weren't they?  105bhp IIRC - they go like the clappers.

[mouseflakes]

Wasn't Carlo once looking for a 305 GTX? A long time ago admittedly.

[wuvvum]

I think he wanted a saloon, didn't he?

[John F]

What's said in that thread just reflects what the normal* motoring public thinks about old chod.

 

I don't mind, tbh. It keeps the cost of old motors down

[trigger]

What a depressing forum.

[Lacquer Peel]

It seems weird for a forum aimed at a model of rubbish old vans.

[Junkman]

Yeah, the most cheerful thing I read on that forum so far is that the landlord's mother in law died a while back.

I've just sent Bollox the seller's email address, I'll pass it on to you if he doesn't want it (although if that's the case it might be an idea to find out why he's not interested...).

Yes I'd definitely be tempted, one of my all tame fave cars, though would indeed prefer a saloon.  Very few left now.

[dieselnutjob]

I had a 305 GTX maybe 15 years ago.  It was rotten and dented, I basically bought it because it had some MOT and I needed a car while I fixed up my much better GLD, and it meant I could put the interior and wheels on the GLD.

 

The few months that I drove it were an absolute blast.  It was very quick and 305 estates have quite nice handling.

 

The seats on the GTX are nice looking, very comfortable and quite supportive.

 

If you can find one of these with good bodywork then they are an excellent buy.  Don't worry too much about the mechanicals because engines from other PugCits are so widely available.  You can even put a 306 HDI under the bonnet.

[Jim Bell]

There's also an SR saloon on eBay as Spears Oar Reappears ATM. Lovely colour.

RTC fan belt alert!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

That RTC fan belt job has been on for YONKS, I offered him £300 ages ago and he gave me the big FO

[Jim Bell]

That's a very good offer that. More than fair. Surprised he wasn't interested. He's dreaming at £500. As is clear by the lack of sale. shame.

[MarvinsMom]

oh what a dreary forum that must be.

 

shame as i can imagine a pug 305 been quiet fun, unlike most (all?) vw's

"Try it on autoshite, it's a forum specifically for people who like crap old vehicles from the past"

 

I know I shouldn't feel proud but I do.

[John F]

I thought it was the most appropriate way to describe our little community

[cms206]

I haven't been so offended since that fella at the Lakeland Motor Museum branded us a "car club".

[carlo]

Hope it's not as rusty as the GTX I picked up from ebay five or six years ago.  That was fooked, roof was so bad it was virtually a convertible.
