Sold Smoll car now solded, 1998 Fiesta Mk 4 1.2 Zetec, recent cambelt, MOT until 2nd December, price dropped to £80...!

[John F]

Achtung, smoll car fans!

 

A mate is thinking of selling his Fiesta 1.2 Zetec, it's in fairly good condition (slight blebbing on the o/s rear arch, nearside is OK) with 102,000 on the clock & six months' MOT. Car is in West Yorks but could be brought to Shitefest for inspection.

 

He's looking for £250. Price reduced to £80 - Yes, that's just EIGHTY POUNDS for an MOT'd FIESTA!

 

Any interest? Pics taken while we were changing the n/s CV boot so it's jacked up, it doesn't sit that high usually.

Is your mate Uri Geller?

[John F]

Nope, but here's a pic of Mr Geller's tastefully* decorated car:

Well deduced, Joe

Please tell him to buy Sloth's £150 Puma, he'd love it!

I'm sure he would, but maybe not the insurance premium...

[Guest bangerfan101]

Very tempted. I'm in Wakefield aswell. I've got 2 of em already

No problem, I'll let matey know you might be interested.

 

He's still got to find a Mk 6 1.4 to replace it, so it'll be a few weeks before it's actually up for grabs.

[Guest bangerfan101]

I've been to look at a few mk6s lately. Some right knackered old shit kicking about.

 

What's it like on oil consumption? That's usually the death of the zetec if the wob doesn't set in first

[John F]

Re. oil, apparently it's using about a quarter of a litre per month or thereabouts.

 

I've suggested to the owner that he shows his face in this thread to answer any other questions, seems daft routing them through me...

[sierraman]

When they are burning oil I'd just chuck any old oil you can get hold of, even used will be fine.

[Guest bangerfan101]

Been there done that. It's after its got really low the problems start. The oil light on a face lift never use to come on. By that time the piston rings were fucked. Low on power and a smoke screen when having to pull up at traffic lights.

The exes face lift shit it's rocker gasket filling the spark plug holes to the brim. Messy job changing them plugs after its all disappeared down into the cylinder.

The 1.25 likes to shit it's thermostat sometimes too.

[sierraman]

I had one of these for years, took some serious abuse, never serviced it, it just kept going. So long as there's enough oil in it and the belt has been done they just keep going.

[Guest bangerfan101]

This is why I'm running about in them

[John F]

Matey has bought himself a new car now, so this smoll 1.25 Zetec Fiesta is up for grabs if anyone's interested.

 

Price is reduced to £150 as it only has about a month's MOT left.

 

It's in West Yorks.

[purplebargeken]

Ideal WBOD fodder.

I've never been good at maths but that looks like a price increase to me,,,

 

Not knocking the car, as its either a good price, or a very good price

[John F]

Ha! Typing fail.

 

Price is £150

[John F]

Bit more info about this Fiesta:

 

MOT until 2nd December

 

Cam belt changed 13th March 2014 at about 95k miles.

 

Shitloads of service history.

[John F]

The Fiesta is now SORNed and sat on my drive, which I would like back at some point, so price is now dropped to £100

[Talbot]

Surely that's a £1.50/ticket roffle if ever there was one?  Would have 3 randomz..

[John F]

It could be, except it's not my car so I cba going through the hassle of a roffle with it

[AlabamaShrimp]

This is when I wish I had more garage space.

[John F]

Bump for a cheap smoll car.

[John F]

I want my drive back. price reduced to £80...!

[egg]

That's scrap money isn't?

 

Maybe just take the spoiler off, wheel caps and radio which will sell for few quid and weigh it in!

[HillmanImp]

You'll get £125 for this through Evans Halshaw.

[eddyramrod]

You'd think some learner would be all over this!  I know I would if I suddenly needed an emergency backup.  Care to estimate its chances of passing the next MoT?
