Any interest? Car in aberdeenshire.

Just went oot for a fag.... Here are some qwality picz to wet yer whistles with...

[dome]

Only 142bhp? 320touring needs to buy this and apply maximum GLF

[kinkersaab]

Thought they were closer to 190bhp?

[cort16]

142kw maybe ?

[cort16]

These earlier 530ds are pretty bomb proof I think . Great cars.

[paulplom]

Would you be interested in a px?

1998 306 cabby

72K with recent timing belt, water pump and service

Black leather

New discs and pads

Bought from ruffgeezer on here last year

[dome]

And we have a winner!

 

142kw is 190bhp.

In my defence, beer had been consumed last night.

[Pillock]

DINGOLFING is a great name for a place, I want to move there.

Nice car too.

[kinkersaab]

ok, so got to work and pwerwashed the old girl, as expected some frilly edges, but on te whole, nae too bad, drives really well, other than formentioned worn shocker. No history.

 

some flattering pics.

 

 

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

No swirl flaps on an early manual diesel either.

 

£1000 classified ad on Ebay and it'll be gone - hordes of Easties up there who will have that.

[cort16]

I want those mats.

320touring should stop messing with miserable vag products and get onboard with this.

I'm tempted to try and get a look at this on Sunday.

 

But... £800 seems (to me, used to Autoshite prices maybe) salty for something with a fucked shock. What else could be wrong with it? My current car is mechanically solid but worthless on the open market, so if I'm spending out on something (I'll need to because of previously mentioned worthlessness) I'd want it to be mechanically pretty good. A fucked shock (as far as the seller can see) is a red flag to me because it instantly makes me wonder what else it may be hiding. Also, no history. On a 530d?

 

GLWTS.

[Jazoli]

That is lush, shame I've just picked up a new car yesterday, I'd have been very interested in that.

Px? See above

If in doubt,over "what might be wrong" with a 18 yr old 170k sub grand big german diesel, probably best you avoid.  As there is bound to be other issues waiting to bite one on the arse....  its the nature of the beast.With big old shitters, the best way is to not spend what you cant afford to lose. 

[Lacquer Peel]

I don't think Kinker would sell a bad car.

Other sellers might gloss over the fucked shock.

[Supernaut]

Aye. I'm sure it'll be good for somebody with previous experience of these, but possibly not as somebody's first.

 

 

I didn't mean to shit all over your ad, though. Sorry if it came across like that.

Are you serious?

A fucked shock isn't the end of the world. It's cheap.

[kinkersaab]

Thanks for above positive comments.No offence taken Supernaut, dinna worry. I certainly would never knowingly sell a fucked car, but nor would i gaurantee an old thing like this wouldnt be a total nightmare, and equally wouldnt expect any thanks or extra money if it turned out to be a faultless peach for years to come. you pays your money and takes your chance.  I am selective with who I sell old shit to, there is the right man for every car. Life is too short to sell old potentially crap stuff to the wrong man,.    The easiest way to avoid problems is to bung it to auction, but then everyone assumes its totally fucked and no one buys it . This way you can see, drive and prod about and make your own mind up.

sorry missed that, tell me more and give me a bid. 

[paulplom]

Pm'd

[Supernaut]

Actually, Paul... any details on that 306 convertible?

[kinkersaab]

@ paulplom, I will leave the pug thanks... Plenty shite enough without adding to it... Supernaut feel free to pursue it, if it floats your boat...

2.0 16v 72k miles, timing belt and water pump recently done. Clutch is a bit heavy but drives great. I bought it off ruffgeezer for £650 and went to Lincoln in September to collect. I've since spent about £250 on new breaks, a crank sensor, link pins?? wheel bearings etc. Looking for £600 or a swap with cash either way. Just a bit bored is all.
