Dae-WOOHOO!! Now SOLD!! To a Polish Scotchman!! And his slightly scary friend!! And a small boy!!

As you all may or may not be aware a few days ago I became the proud custodian of the erstwhile Mr Shitpeas Daewoo Lanos. Over the last couple of days I have been giving the interior a good clean and hoover and had it down the local jet wash and as a result it has come up luvverly. I will be sure to post some piccies as soon as I have had time to clay and polish it. :)

 

What I hadn't realised at the time, though, is that I can now get the 525 on a second-car policy netting a reduction in annual premium of £152 as well as a £19 refund from the old policy. So if you add those savings to the £1.60 that Ben gave me for the Tyne Tunnel - thanks, Chief! - and deduct from the £175 paid I calculate that the Lanos has cost me... £2.40!

 

Dae-WOOHOO!!

Now I'm no great mechanical mind but I'm pretty sure this is the supercharger.

I've decided to bus wank it for a bit, so this is now for sale. It's a great little car. Leccy windows, ABS, airbags, power steering, it's nippy and good on fuel. Only issues are the airbag light is on, and the engine management light is also usually on but I'll be damned if anything is wrong with it! Also the ABS occasionally comes on, but once again I reckon it's a false flag as it all feels good to me!

 

So basically it's a cracking wee car with a few lights lit up on the dash. Also, as a bonus WilsonWIlson had the belts done just before I bought it.

 

I only want £175 as that is exactly what I paid WilsonWIlson for it and you can't say fairer than that. :)

What he said. It genuinely is a great little car, and remember, it's basically* an Astra* GTE* which makes it A Sports Car.

I'm sure Corsalad or whatever his name is now has a complete 1.5 TD out of a rotten Corsa, drop straight in*.

Not me, chief. I had a shit (aren't they all?) Corsa TD that I was going to bum rape for the engine, but I sold the whole car to an East European gentleman.

I think mibbe it's station you're thinking of, unless I'm mistaken he has an Isuzu 1.7TD removed from an Astra ...

Location please and any mot? Thanks

 

Soz, forgot them bits! MOT till 3rd January 2016 and I'm in Washington, Tyne and Wear (Sunderland area).

If I was single I would buy this take it to Crail, set the fastest time* and cruise back to Accrington like a winnah.

 

Sadly I can't think of a way to hide this from missus Moog.... Nor a way to justify a way to make the man maths work...

Thanks going to look into insurance etc

 

I'll be out most of this morning so I'll get some pictures up later today after it's been down the car wash. As for the engine it's a 1.6 twin cam 16v with about 105bhp so is a nippy little thing!

Pictures!

Low miles!

 

I've also been out today and fitted new Bosch wipers front and rear and also spent a few quid on a triple wax wash - THAT'S UNDERSIDE PROTECTION, BITCHES!!!!

Glws but I seem to have bought something closer to home and more suited to my needs!

And in case you're all wondering, that's front AND back! I have also brimmed the washer reservoir and can confirm that the new wipers work a treat. Because Bosch, obviously.

 

Also... BONUS COLLECTORZ ITEM!!11!!

Want more?

That's it. I can't think of anything else that could possibly make this car any more deirable.

I've also just gone and put it on Gumtree. Mainly because A. it's free and I'm a mingebag B. I've never sold anything on Gumtree and want to enjoy* a new experience and C. I actually do fancy an Xbox right now. Please be assured* though that £175 is very much the shite price only. Gumtree price is reassuringly* expensive.

This is proper base level shiting.

 

Somebody needs to buy it before I go to Washy and buy another banger to torment the neighbours.

John, for you I would actually knock off another £25. Firstly as a loyal* customer discount and secondly to make up for that balls up with the V5 for the Sierra. Which I have just found. In a cupboard. At me mum and dad's house. WTF?

Posted

Seriously, though, folks if it appears that I'm desparate to sell it's only because I would rather it was gone before the end of the month as I would rather not pay another months tax and insurance on a car I won't be using. It really is a bonny little thing and if I needed it it would be perfect for me, and when I got it off Ben I did need it but sadly I just don't anymore!

Currently having textual intercourse with someone along the lines of 'best price m8'. One person wanted to come see today to have a mooch, but they have texted to cancel. At least they texted a few hours before hand so dissapointing but fair enough. At least they bothered.
