For Sale RENAULT VEL SATIS FOR SALE - ULTIMATE IN LUXO BARGE SHITE

[Guest Renault20tx]

Hi all, 

 

I am looking to move on my 2003 2.0L Turbo Petrol Vel Satis, due to needing the funds to bring over a 20 TX from France. 

The good: Despite having 238,000 on the clock, it runs beautifully. Full beige leather  interior still in excellent condition. MOT till 05/16. All door pockets, cup holders and rear under seat storage operating like new. Fully electric and heated front seats still functioning fully. Icy cool and fully functional air conditioning.

 

The bad: Both rear tyre pressure sensors defective (who cares at £90 a time, just check them at the garage like normal folk). Stereo radio works, but has a jammed cd slot.

Also, it could do with a new set of coil pencils - it developed a misfire, and I changed 2 of them, which means it only has a very slight shudder under very hard acceleration. Front bumper has had a bump, its slightly bent. Rear bumper has a few dents and marks (which should T-cut out.) Also the rear drivers-side light perspex covers are cracked. 

 

IT REALLY IS THE DEFINITION OF AUTOSHITE - OFFERS AROUND £500 PLEASE? IT IS AN IMMENSELY COMFORTABLE AND SWISH CAR. PLUS THE LUCKY BUYER WILL HAVE THE ADDED SATISFACTION OF KNOWING THEY HELPED FACILITATE THE ARRIVAL OF A RARE 20TX TO THESE SHORES

[barefoot]

Thank God you're the other end of the country - probably.

[Guest Renault20tx]

Hi, I'm in Bradford, West Yorks - but could be persuaded to deliver depending on sale price. 

[MarvinsMom]

Thank God you're the other end of the country - probably.

shit, that is only a coupe or 3 hours from home, so not quite far enough away.....

[cort16]

Wow. Well worth a shot at 500 quid and you can get it right up the anyone who says they're shit by showing them the mileage .

Well said, Sir! I will either get my money or keep it - I am NOT doing the silly Gumtree route ever again (£40 to me boss, iniiiit!)

[MarvinsMom]

i would love this, but the domestic management won't go for it, i think....

 

as my leader and i have 6 cars and a motor bike already between us, i cannot see me been able to sneak another one in.

 

i think these are ace, and a pez one, that must be the one to have?

[Cavcraft]

PLEASE raffle this.

[MarvinsMom]

5 and 24 please.....

[chaseracer]

GET.  THEE.  BEHIND.  ME.  SATAN...

[Guest Renault20tx]

It certainly has the best front seats I have had the pleasure to sit in since my Father sold his Renault 20 in 1996! They are a bit like BA club class fare - only miles better. They get right under your knees and have lumbar support too!

[MarvinsMom]

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Wow, I'd do that in the face TWICE

[Guest Renault20tx]

For those that prefer to enjoy a motorway refreshment stop in the comfort of their own car, just press the Alderwood panel:

And press the three buttons, to reveal 2 cup holders, milk and sugar

Or.............if you're really posh, clamber in the back, pretend you have a chauffeur, bring down the arm rest..........

Et Viola!

 

[MarvinsMom]

iiiinnnngggg iiiinninnininiiigggg.....

 

must......

 

not......

 

buy......

 

old.....

 

renner.......

 

(even though those cup holder things are well cool)

[Guest Renault20tx]

Always nice to have air conditioning in the back of course

 

- even better with your own controls!   and don't forget the central locking button and cigar lighter easily to hand

 

 

 

[purplebargeken]

Please, please, please, please ROFFLE. 

[Bear]

42, 15, 21. Please. Even though I know I won't win and Bast knows all I need is another French timebomb.

[purplebargeken]

ROFFLE

 

Please

[Guest Renault20tx]

A special addition - that be for the brats! Excellent place to store sweets/crisps under their seats "How many more miles????" "Look under your seat Harry!" Peace and quiet in a Vel Satis goes beyond a quiet engine and low road noise...........

 

[MarvinsMom]

you sir, are a very bad man,

 

tormenting us like this with pictures of the fun bits in said beige gold old renner.

 

A VERY BAD MAN INDEED.

[Guest Renault20tx]

Of course, each rear door is fitted with electric windows, pocket and ashtray as standard, with a splendid Alderwood trim...........

[eddyramrod]

16 and 38 please (thus ensuring I can't win; I've won two in two weeks with these very numbers!).

[trigger]

That wood trim hiding the cup holders is fantastic! Even I'd be up for a raffle!

[DVee8]

Tease me tease baby till i loose control.

[Guest Renault20tx]

A raffle? hahaha! Great idea, but how on earth do you suppose we go about organising one of those?

[MarvinsMom]

am trying my bestest to resist this.

 

i've even worked out an excuse plausible reason for buying it, and that is to stop me running the rover though all the salt ect over winter....

 

how much mot is on it, and how much is it to tax?

 

EDIT - i see it tested till 5-16 oops!!
