Ford KAck - MOT'ed - £50! Sheffield


Recommended Posts

Sorry it's not interesting, but it is shite and cheap...

Anyone interested in a 2001 Ford KA Collection (electric windows etc) - MOT til 29th December 2015. Has winter tyres on the front.

 

Needs at least a nearside front wishbone (inner bush has gone, but it seems cheaper to replace the lot ~ £30 quid for the entire assembly) - Could also do with a battery as needs a bump start if left for a few days, and sometimes leaks water into the boot (haven't been able to figure out where from). It's covered in scratches etc and a bit rusty in places but generally solid and not rotten like most.

 

Been a good car but I need something bigger so I've decided to replace it instead of doing the work and MOTing it.

 

£50 to get it gone? Would rather it didn't sit on the drive as I have a bad habit of collecting driveway ornaments.

 

It's in the S6 area of Sheffield. If collected tomorrow (Monday 30th) it'll be taxed, MOT'ed, insured - ready to drive away! It has a serious rattle and a bit of play in the wheel from the knackered wishbone bush so I wouldn't go too far (done a few 100 miles and it's not gotten any worse though).

 

Cheers.

I think it'll make £40 weighed in, so I'm quite happy to Paypal you the ten pounds difference if you promise to scrap it.

I'll be getting the scrap man to collect it later in the week - I've had some form of shite sat rotting on the drive for most of this year and the neighbours are starting to complain...

 

One elderly owner from ~2002 before me. Local car, seems to have been looked after. Plenty of tread on tyres etc... (Don't let this fool you, it's definitely shite, but cheap motoring with a bit of work).

^No! We'll regret scrapping these when they're extinct.

 

Not all of us.

 

 

 

In fairness this does look like a right bargain, I'm not trying to ruin the sale for Sopaz Ellis Bexter. I'd just rather see as many of these as possible weighed off.

They really are fun to drive. Just dont try to fit anything into the letter box of a boot (decided it had to go when a microwave wouldn't fit in).

Got Bub written all over this, surely.

Its half the price of my monthly train ticket, no brainer for Bub I'd say! A months worth of motoring for 50 quid, just change over the insurance. May scrap always stay worthless, last time I remember 50 quid motors it was Sierras with raggy door bottoms.

Shirley those Fuchs style wheel trims would be worth COIN if you painted them black and silver?

I've noticed it but I don't fit in them too well or I'd be all over it. Handle great for what they are

they are OK mate, I liked my other halfs one and they are dirt cheap to run. Even rear seat space is OK for such a small car. And it's just up the road from you. It should scrap for £40 so you are only risking a tenner.

If I was not picking up the panda I would have had this, its considerably closer also

Seriously, if anyone can do an epic tat collection thread I'll have it.

 

I seemingly am unable to drive for more than 37 miles at the moment due to fucking shit leg pain.

I'm in Sheffield S8.

 

I don't want it, but it can sit in the road here until it can be collected. I will have the keys, but will take no responsibility for it whatsoever re plod/DVLC.

A whole working car for the price of a new tyre. The world's gone mad!

Posted

But in a very autoshite kind of madness. A most excellent madness.

Looks like this is hopefully going to be my new winter car but for some reason I have to go to work most of this week.

 

Can anyone help me move this from Sheffield to Wakefield? It's only about an hour or so, real cash monies can be paid

Posted
