mouseflakes Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I like these - something about those rear lights. There, I hope that helps you sell this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I like these - something about those rear lights. There, I hope that helps you sell this one. I'm with you on that. They're somehow quite pert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 That looks well nice. Bargain for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primin2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Thanks for the feedback. Problems are a possible slight blow in the exhaust, but it has always sounded like that. It has an almost Impreza'ish sound to it (slight overstatement there perhaps!). It will need front tyres in the next few thousand miles, but they're still better than the ones on the Astra estate diesel that's replaced the Baleno. There is a slight mark where I took off a faded/ugly Cymru (i.e. Wales) sticker off the boot-lid that seemed to have been welded on! Some T-Cut or paint restorer should help, speaking of which, someone has rubbed a bit hard (ooh missus!) on the front wing and gone through the paint in a small section. Had a new timing belt kit & tensioner fitted (at a Ford main dealer for some reason) at 83k, now on 94k so we're OK there. Any further questions, please ask.

primin2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 It seems that the Suzuki Baleno is a difficult car to sell, as there's another one on the forum that's been up for a while. I may have to consider the alternative i.e. remove the (remote controlled!) stereo and weigh her in for scrap, but I am loathe to do this as there is essentially nothing wrong with the car. No reasonable offer will be refused. This is last chance saloon to give this saloon a last chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Dont scrap just raffle ! I can afford to win a £10 car, I cant afford to buy a £300 car. Plus missus doesnt complain (as much) beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binhoker668 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm building up some cash for a purchase, following some rash decisions/mistakes recently. Am hoping to be in touch this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Just passed the details on to Sister in Law Moog who is looking to replace her rusty Punto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primin2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Started her up earlier on, started first time, and took her for a burn up and down the estate. Still running strong. Forgot to mention, also comes with two keys. Driving a Japanese car quickly gives an enormous sense of delight (unless you take out a cyclist and a petrol pump in the process that is!)

DodgyBastard Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Selling cars on here is difficult because 99% of the people on here are poor, I just sold my Rascal for a whopping £475 with no mot or v5 but didn't see the point of advertising it on here.If you're going to go down the weighing it in route, you'll get something like £44 per ton so how about you take the stereo and I'll give you £50?

MrDuke Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If anyone has collection issues, I could collect & store it at Chez_Duke for a while? Assuming 'N Wales' doesn't mean Aberystwyth or Wrexham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
