Guess why the heap is cheap?

Not a dashboard fault by any chance?

 

Mind you, might just need a service. A "B" service would work out uneconomically viable.

[scaryoldcortina]

I get the feeling you aren't going to get it without another clue.

 

Something is rusty.

Subframe?

[scaryoldcortina]

Winner! Front subframe has a rusted hole in it.

Fair play the gearbox lasted long enough for the subframe to rot through

Find me one of them down south,nice little earner that one

[scaryoldcortina]

^ TBH, I'm thinking of buying it, welding up the hole and throwing a fresh ticket at it....

 

 

Parky can have this "go" if he wants it.

[scaryoldcortina]

OK, looks like he's not gonna...

 

 

A beautiful orange Daewoo Matiz, clean interior, passed MOT April 2015

Selling for spares

 

It's £150..... why?

 

edit - that's the seller's entire description.

[cort16]

Is it mechanical?

[scaryoldcortina]

no

[LabRat]

Its an ex clown car and the doors have fallen off

 

Or its got holes in the floor Flintstones style...

[cort16]

Hmm, I recon these are quite tough so I think something had happened to the interior?

Possibly eaten by a bejon freshii

[scaryoldcortina]

says the interior is clean, and it doesn't look rusty in the pictures.

[scaryoldcortina]

further clue - someone earlier guessed the fault with this but not on the right car.

[Lacquer Peel]

Broken rear window?

[scaryoldcortina]

not the window.

[cort16]

All the doors are permently locked shut?

[LabRat]

Buggered supercharger?

[scaryoldcortina]

as far as I know, the doors open and the supercharger works just fine.

[sofarsogood]

EML light on, missfires above 3k revs?

[cort16]

Brakes have fell off?

[LabRat]

Headgasket brewing up?

Given the sparse description it could have all of those and more. The one I'm looking for is obvious in a photo. Tbh, it's probably obvious from 100 yards away.

Headlights knackered/out of alignment?
