The Moog Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Due to circumstances I find myself with two cars in London, so need to sell the space runner ideally in next 48 hours before I go back to Accrington. Mitsubishi Space Runner 1995 1.8 auto Funky sliding doorSeats can be removed to turn into van etc MOT December 2017 Taxed to get you homeNew Avon tyres fitted 1500 miles ago Electric windowsPASAir con -blow coldAutoshite number platesHad HT leads, sparkplugs and Dizzy cap changed Comes with pile of spares - pair of front calipers, a rear wheel cylinder, front brake pads, rear brake shoes, fuel pump, air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, rotor arm. Drives really well. I have done 500 miles in last two days. DownsidesFuel pump can be grumbly (hence one in the spares pile)Bumper Corners are marked. Currently in Uxbridge and may be able to deliver. No pics as I have just driven back from Cardiff and it is dark out. If I can sell it in next 48 hrs I would like £350 for it.
purplebargeken Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 The Mitsu was going to rejoin me in Norf London 'cos fuggin' lovely thing and so very nice to drive. The corrosion mentioned is insignificant and is about the easiest thing to repair in the universe if you could be arsed. It has been mentioned in numerous MOT tests as an advisory. The underneath of this car is solid. Exhaust is good. Bodywork is sound apart from minor placcy bumper scuffs. The worst bit outside of the car is faded satin black bits on the bonnet and a couple of door surrounds. An hour with a satin black rattle can will have it looking plush. Interior is nice and clean. I replaced the 'leccy window switch when I first got it and the windows go up and down quicker than the i10's. Decent amount of space in the boot area and with the seats out it is very handy indeed. All the electrics work and the car is such a capable mile muncher and even gives decent mpg's. Has heated door mirrors that come on with the rear heated screen. Sunroof works just dandy. So. Why didn't it work out? Because of the twat fucker cunts in the insurance industry. When I bought it in Dec 2015 it came under the classic cover via FJ. Sub hundred quid cover was fantastic. I quoted with them today and it was too old. Yes, but you lot insured it last time. Yes, but not now seemingly. Best quote was £665, Tesco quoted round £1,200. So. Not return of the Mitsu to me. Thanks insurance cunts, fucking ace car owning opportunity royally fucked by your stupid change of mind. So. Just buy this car and cherish it because it is bloody ace and I am genuinely bloody fecked off.
Craig the Princess Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Try esure PBK. If you can get through they were really reasonable on the Multipla.
loserone Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Try them four times, they might also change their minds and bring the price down. The Moog, wuvvum, Jim Bell and 7 others 10
Dave_Q Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Have you had a phone session to the usual suspects, Flux, Peter Best, Peter James, Classicline etc? Just tried FJ and they won't quote me on it either, what a pisser.
purplebargeken Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Done FJ, PBIS, Flux didn't even want to quote last time, nor did PJ.
Eddie Honda Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Same over here, classic insurance isn't a straight 20/25/30 year-old cut any more. Seems like the underwriting gods turn their noses up Japanese stuff now. https://www.keithmichaels.co.uk/jap-import-car-insurance/classic-japanese-car-insurance/Worth a punt calling?
purplebargeken Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Just filled in the online form and seemingly I will get a friendly call back. We shall see. Thanks for the link
Station Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 He won't get similar quotes to any of you as he is in different location, doesn't have same driving history, has different car, isn't the same age, isn't in the same line of work, and is not married to the same woman, and is not you. Sorry, but it makes a difference.
smellypoo Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Moog - you might want to stick the green For Sale thing on so people can spot it on the board, could well draw more eyes to it... PBK - hope the insurance thing works out! The Moog 1

The Moog Posted February 11, 2017 Author Posted February 11, 2017 Result! You now have only the one car to drive home now, the mungbeaneo.Not quite.... Sorry Ken.
purplebargeken Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 I hope that it has gone to a shitter. I am very gutted as I dearly wanted it back. Whoever has it is a very lucky person. This was a fine thing to drive. Good luck! Twats
The Moog Posted February 11, 2017 Author Posted February 11, 2017 It has gone to someone on here but I am not sure it will stay within the family. purplebargeken 1
purplebargeken Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 The Mondy looks fair worthy Deven is a sound bloke. The Moog and smellypoo 2
The Moog Posted February 11, 2017 Author Posted February 11, 2017 The Mondy looks fair worthy Deven is a sound bloke.Very much so to both of these smellypoo 1
purplebargeken Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 If the last insurance query comes in at less than 200 quid, there will then be a very audible howl of misery from the North London area that most of you will be able to hear.
The Moog Posted February 12, 2017 Author Posted February 12, 2017 If the last insurance query comes in at less than 200 quid, there will then be a very audible howl of misery from the North London area that most of you will be able to hear.I am sure the new owner would be open to punting it on. Would just be arranging logistics
Eddie Honda Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 a very audible howl of misery from the North London area that most of you will be able to hear. I think I'd hear it from here too.
purplebargeken Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 I gave a fictitious previous quote of £365 and they have come back to me with........ 'That is a very competitive quote which we are sadly unable to match'. So well and truly blown out of the water.
